In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

The thylakoids contain the light-harvesting complex, including pigments such as chlorophyll, as well as the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis (Figure 2). Plant cell walls are ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

The diagram below shows the same plant cell, as viewed with the light microscope, and with the transmission electron microscope. Animal and plant cells have certain structures in common.

In plant and other photosynthetic cells ... which in turn aggregate into particles that are observable via electron microscopy. A cell can rapidly mobilize these particles whenever it needs ...

Plant cells crammed with chloroplasts ... to places we'd never seen before - the electron microscope. The specimen is put in a vacuum and is viewed not by light waves but by a single beam of ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

The 3D electron microscopy imaging is available using Serial Block Face ... In biological research, ET can be applied to study unique structures, which are in the context of a cell. ET is ideally ...
