If my microbiology career had required the prolific use of microscopes, however, I would never have been satisfied with those miserable light microscopes and their pathetic 1,000x magnification. No, I ...

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 ...

This is a colored electron microscopy image of Ebola viruses infecting a Vero E6 cell – a cell line isolated from the kidney of a certain kind of monkey. In the main image, the virus particles are ...

N E W   Y O R K, Oct. 23 -- When Belgium’s Dr. Peter Piot first analyzed Ebola microbes under an electron microscope during the 1976 Sudanese outbreak that brought the virus to the world ...

This Congolese Doctor Discovered Ebola But Never Got Credit ... scientists at the CDC and Piot looked at the samples under an electron microscope and saw a snakelike filament — huge in ...

I had been doing a lot of electron microscopy, viewing viruses at a very high magnification to study their structure and their biology. We decided to look at the cell cultures from the Reston ...

Electron microscopist Elizabeth Fischer has captured stunning images of the emerging viruses that cause Ebola, MERS, and now COVID-19.

"Using cryo-electron microscopy, we were able to view the nucleocapsid structure at 4.6 angstrom resolution for the first time," says corresponding author Takeshi Noda. One angstrom, or Å, is ...

Transmission electron microscopy of iPSC-derived human hepatocyte-like cells infected with Ebola virus. Filamentous Ebola virus particles are released from the infected cells (arrows).

One obstacle to understanding sGP is that it is too small to be seen with cryo-electron microscopes. To solve this problem, the researchers added "bulk" by pairing sGP with antibodies, including 13C6.
