Imaging eukaryotic cells in liquid with nanometer resolution
So much of what needs to be learned about human and animal health, evolution, environmental science and a myriad of other topics begins and ends with cell biology. Not so long ago, researchers could look at only the most basic results when studying cell behavior: What happens if I expose a group of cells to a particular chemical, to a virus or to ultraviolet light? The images on top were...
