They then monitored the health and growth of cell structures using multiple imaging methods such as electron, confocal, and superresolution microscopy ... paths in non-plant organisms such ...

The results were complemented with conventional transmission electron microscopy and serial block ... to confirm and clarify trafficking routes of cell wall polysaccharides and synthases in the model ...

"Then, in yeast cells, we re-assembled different electron transport chains in combination with plant P450 enzymes ... further studies using cryo-electron microscopes at Brookhaven's Laboratory ...

In the 17th century, light microscopy first revealed the existence of cells. In the 20th century, electron microscopy offered even greater detail, revealing the elaborate structures within cells ...
