About 100 years ago, humanity learned to see with the help of electrons. In 1924, Louis de Broglie posited that—like light ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy ...

In photosynthesis, harnessing the power of the Sun is made possible by the flow of electrons from one protein to another inside an organelle called the chloroplast. This organelle contains a complex ...

Then, using a light microscope, they identify the specific area in the tissue they want to visualize. Only after determining ...

Then, using a light microscope, they identify the specific area in the tissue they want to visualize. Only after determining the correct orientation is the material placed in the new electron ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Since the first fiber optic cables rolled out in the 1970s, they’ve become a major part of everything from medical devices to ...

Principles and Techniques of Electron Microscopy is the standard work for biological electron microscopists wishing to learn how to prepare their specimens for electron microscopic investigation. This ...
