3D reconstruction of the nerve net, comb rows, sensory cells, mesogleal neurons, and a tentacle from electron microscopy data of a 1-day old ctenophore.

Using advanced technologies, a team of scientists led by Pawel Burkhardt from the Michael Sars Centre, University of Bergen and Maike Kittelmann from Oxford Brookes University, have revealed the ...

Electron microscope image of a nerve fiber with myelin (in black) in the optic nerve of an MS patient. In yellow, the spaces between myelin layers that are enlarged in MS) ...

Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of ...

The researchers claim LICONN is the first technology beyond electron microscopy (EM) that is capable of reconstructing brain tissue with all the synaptic connections between neurons.

This 3-D rendering of the larval fruit fly’s neurons was constructed from serial images captured with an electron microscope. Spheres represent each nerve cell body and the elongated tails are ...

W ith the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

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 ...
