Let’s look closely at the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have discovered the mechanism behind an important step in the life ...

It uses a scanning electron microscope equipped with a focused gallium ion beam to sequentially mill away the sample surface. In-column backscattered (EsB) and secondary electron (SE) detectors are ...

This is a leaf surface under a scanning electron microscope. Both types of electron microscopes make black-and-white images ... like these HIV particles budding on the surface of a T cell.
