Understanding when and why a cell dies is fundamental to the study of human development, disease and aging. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Lou Gehrig's disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, ...

It's an extremely fast microscope," Larsen says. According to Larsen, the tests so far show that this works well, and he believes this type of microscope can eventually be used on all types of samples ...

In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley, campus, two bespoke microscopes—each a Swiss Army knife for high-resolution imaging—operate around the clock gathering data ...

After only six months from the inauguration of the Joint Electron Microscopy Center at ALBA (JEMCA), this marvel of technology is already feeding published research. In fact, the first paper including ...
