Using a technique called 3D electron microscopy, the authors determined that α2δ-1 was also required for proper synapse structure. Risher et al. further observed that α2δ-1 is able to promote synapse ...

Electron microscope image of synapse in the cerebellum. This slice through the cerebellum cells shows the synapse between an inhibitory neuron (red) and a Purkinje cell (yellow). There, the tiny ...

While the original electron microscope arrived in the early 1930’s (there’s still a controversy to this day over who invented the very first one), scientists have relied on what are known as ...

Specifically, the electron detector is designed for use in a scanning electron microscope, which is typically used for inspecting the surface of a sample and retrieving a high-resolution, 3D image ...

The fascinating journey of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has drastically revolutionized our understanding of the microscopic world. Even though SEM is typically associated with the forefront of ...
