Electron microscope image of synapse in the cerebellum. This slice through the cerebellum cells shows the synapse between an inhibitory neuron (red) and a Purkinje cell (yellow). There, the tiny ...

Electron microscopy images of human neuron synapses 7 or 14 days after a 30-minute exposure to tau oligomers or vehicle control. In vehicle-treated neurons synaptic vesicles (red circles) are ...

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new approach to broadly survey learning-related changes in synapse properties. In a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience and featured ...

Compared to traditional electron microscopy, it lowers both cost and technical barriers. "At the current resolution of the images—20 nanometers—synapses can already be identified. We managed to ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Transmission electron microscopy reveals the architecture of cells at nanometer resolution, but chemical fixation severely warps their native structure. The true ultrastructure of cells can be ...
