human cell pH ! fixative cell in Electron Microscopy

The hydrogen potential, noted pH , is a measure of the chemical activity of hydrons (also commonly called protons or hydrogen ions) in solution. In particular, in aqueous solution, these ions are present in the form of the hydronium ion (the simplest of the oxonium...

What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM)?

What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM)?

Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) transmit a beam of electrons through a sample to create an image. While the electrons pass through the sample, some will be scattered by heavier atoms in the sample creating a projection image. Imaging of biological material...

La microscopie électronique à l’ère de l’automatisation

La plate-forme de microscope de nouvelle génération de PNNL met en œuvre une architecture d’analyse et de contrôle sans précédent. Les experts repensent les bases du microscope électronique, en tirant parti de l’automatisation du système de bas niveau, du prétraitement des données basé sur le domaine et de l’analyse émergente des données éparses pour extraire rapidement des informations statistiques. extrait article de Kimberlee Papich, Laboratoire national du nord-ouest du Pacifique
