Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...

When selecting a microscope, it’s important to consider various features, such as the field of view, frame construction, lighting, optical quality and resolution. There are several types of ...

A λ-tint plate (530 nm) was inserted to enhance the contrast of the interference colors in the POM images. High-resolution field-emission scanning electron microscopy (HR-FESEM) was carried out using ...

In a new series of work, researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus, the Allen Institute, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Harvard Medical School used super high-resolution ...

and Harvard Medical School used super high-resolution 3D electron microscopy images of mouse brain tissue generated for creating connectomes to get the best look yet at primary cilia. Their ...

Cilia are important for regulating cellular ... Collectively called volume electron microscopy, or volume EM, these methods use electron microscopes to image thin layers of a specimen and then ...

With the latter, you could also use an older Raspberry Pi 2 or Raspberry Pi (1) SBC. OpenFlexure Connect is an electron-based client for the OpenFlexure Microscope pre-installed on the aforementioned ...

Researchers have designed and built the world’s first microscope made entirely from 3D-printed parts. And because the open-source plans are already available online, almost anyone can assemble ...
