Electron microscopy has since revealed the uniqueness and importance of the 'Golgi' apparatus. In 1906, Golgi and Ramón y Cajal 28 obtained the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their ...

The Golgi apparatus is a central organelle in eukaryotic cells, instrumental in processing, modifying and sorting proteins and lipids. Its dynamic architecture features discrete cisternae ...

"Taken together, our findings suggest that Oxr1 and Ncoa7 regulate V-ATPase at the Golgi apparatus and trans-Golgi network to maintain optimal luminal pH for enzymatic activity," says Yoshimura.

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 last time we used a scanning electron microscope (a SEM), it looked like something from a bad 1950s science fiction movie. These days SEMs, like the one at the IBM research center, look like ...

An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a particle beam of electrons to illuminate a specimen and create a highly-magnified image. Electron microscopes have much greater resolving ...
