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 ...

However, when Erbacher looked at skin tissue under the microscope, he noticed that nerve fibers did not just grow around skin cells but, to the whole team’s surprise, tunneled straight through them.

(D) Electron microscopy of a myelinated axon in a mouse optic nerve at higher magnification ... rat dorsal root ganglion neurons and Schwann cells. Myelin segments are stained in red by an ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling ...

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 ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller ...

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 ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

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 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 ...
