“He had started working on his PhD thesis on a completely different topic,” Üçeyler said. However, when Erbacher looked at skin tissue under the microscope, he noticed that nerve fibers did not just ...

Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal cell, on the left viewed with the light microscope, and on the right with the transmission electron ... The nerve cell is extended, so that ...

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

How does one nerve cell transmit the nerve impulse to another cell? Electron microscopy and other methods show that it does so by means of special extensions that deliver a squirt of transmitter ...

Until now, this was only possible using expensive structural biology methods such as electron microscopy (EM ... which controls the activity of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, showed ...

The limit of resolution of the transmission electron microscope is now less than 1 nm. The TEM has revealed structures in cells that are not visible with the light microscope. We can now study ...

The synaptic cleft, meaning the distance between two nerve cells or between a nerve cell and a muscle cell, is just 10 to 50 nanometers – too small for conventional microscopes.
