Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

For a long time, researchers contested the presence of microscopic pathogens suspected of causing various diseases in plants and animals. The invention of the electron microscope in 1933 made them ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...
