To identify a complex virus in Figure 13.1, one must look for specific structural features that differentiate it from simpler viral architectures. Complex viruses do not adhere to the regular ...

According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios ...

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper examines the vital role played by electron microscopy toward the modern definition of viruses, as formulated in the late 1950s.

With the scanning electron microscope (SEM), scientists in a range of fields—from biology to materials science to microelectronics—can analyze the surface of objects with a resolution approaching ...

For a long time, researchers contested the presence of microscopic pathogens suspected of causing various diseases in plants and animals. The invention of the electron microscope in 1933 made them ...

This instrument is an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope capable of secondary-electron image resolution of 1.2 nm. It is fully digital and incorporates an image archiving computer.

Have you ever wondered what makes shark skin so tough and sleek? It's dermal denticles—tiny, tooth-like structures that cover a shark's skin. Made of the same material as teeth and shaped like small ...
