Multicolor electron microscopy reveals proteins and cell architecture at nanoscale resolution

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the intricate architecture of cells and the specific locations of proteins-all in vivid color and at nanometer resolution.

New Multicolor Electron Microscopy Reveals Cell Structure and Proteins in Vivid Detail

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the intricate architecture of cells and the specific locations of proteins-all in vivid color and at nanometer resolution.

Multicolour electron microscopy shows nanoscale cell structure

Scientists have unveiled a pioneering imaging technique, multicolor electron microscopy, that integrates electron and fluorescence microscopy. This method allows researchers to view both the cellular architecture and protein locations in vivid colour at nanometre resolution. The novel approach addresses a long-standing limitation in biological imaging, where researchers previously had to choose between structural details or molecular tracking. T…
