Up to 40% of patients undergoing breast conserving surgery for breast cancer require repeat surgeries due to close to or positive margins. The lengthy processing required for evaluating surgical ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is uranyl ...

Researchers performing cryo-EM experiments can acquire the training to make their own cryo-EM and negative-stain grids, and collect and process their own high-resolution data. We also offer sample ...

Transmission Electron Microscopes can be used for a variety of different techniques, which set them apart from other forms of microscope. The first is metal shadowing or negative staining. TEM ...

In a breakthrough for research fields as diverse as diabetes, atherosclerosis and biofuels, the mass, concentration, volume, and surface area of individual lipid droplets have been measured in live, ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

Researchers have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. (Nanowerk News) To ensure that the tissue ...
