The CAPP project aims to transfer key photosynthetic components from algae to plants in order to enhance crop productivity. In this false-color electron microscopy image, the pyrenoid of a green algae ...

From a dragonfly to marine organisms, photographer Michael Benson zoomed in with powerful scanning electron microscopes to ...

Spikey, ridged scales reduce drag in swift-swimming sharks, while thicker, rounder scales offer protection from abrasion. The three-pronged scale on top may serve a defensive function. False color ...

A collection of images taken with scanning electron microscopes (SEM) has been pieced together by London-based science author, Brandon Broll, into a book titled Microcosmos. The images cover anything ...

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

For the past 22 months we’ve seen coronavirus images everywhere, but researchers in Spain have now found that the choice of image determines how we think about the information that’s being presented.

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...
