Structure of a Cell: How Electron Microscopy Helps Understand its Complexity

Cells are the basic building blocks of life, and understanding their structure is crucial to understanding how they function. A clear view of the structure of a cell provides a detailed representation of the various components that make up a cell, including organelles, cytoskeletons, and cell membranes. However, traditional light microscopy has limitations when it…

Cell Diagram: Looking at the Structure of Cells Using Electron Microscopy

When it comes to scientific, technological, and medical progress, electron microscopy (EM) has proven invaluable. Its use has ably equipped scientists all over the world to broaden their understanding of life and the environment. To date, it’s the only technique with an adequate resolution for localizing proteins to small membrane subdomains within the context of…

High Power Microscopes: How to Choose the Right Scanning Electron Microscope for your Laboratory

High Power Microscopes: How to Choose the Right Scanning Electron Microscope for your Laboratory When you’re in the market for a new piece of equipment for your laboratory, it can be tough to know where to start. An essential purchase is a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which allows you to see the surface features of…

MAGNIFICATION OR RESOLUTION: WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT?

Magnification versus Resolution – which is more important? We often get asked about magnification in Tabletop SEM. Magnification is a relative term since the actual magnified size of an image depends on how it is displayed. This is why the micrographs captured by Scanning Electron Microscopes almost always contain a “scale bar” so that no…
