This is an electron microscopy picture of a section through the flagellum of a Drosophila melanogaster sperm cell. The base of the flagellum is on the left, and the falgellum's skeleton extends from ...

Structure of the newly decoded protein found in the membrane of sperm cells. Colours mark the different units of the protein, which can be put together to make a functioning protein like the building ...

With 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 ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...
