Extensive use of FRET in biological imaging 16 Aug 2013 | 07:52 pm

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a phenomenon used for bioimaging ranging from single molecules to in vivo scale. A large variety of organic dyes and fluorescent proteins are available for ...

Sample heating system for spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy 16 Aug 2013 | 07:52 pm

A sample-heating system for spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy (spin SEM) has been developed and used for microscopic magnetization analysis at temperatures up to 500°C. In this system, a com...

High-resolution environmental transmission electron microscopy: modeling and experimental verification 16 Aug 2013 | 07:52 pm

Quantitative modeling for high-resolution (phase contrast) gas cell environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) imaging is presented in this paper. Concepts of pre-specimen scattering object...

Suppression of charging effect on collagen fibrils utilizing a conductive probe in TEM 16 Aug 2013 | 07:52 pm

We investigate the effectiveness of utilizing a conductive probe for a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to suppress charging caused by electron irradiation. To do this, the electric field around...

Fat body, hemolymph and ovary routes for delivery of substances to ovary in Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides: differences among castes through the... 16 Aug 2013 | 07:52 pm

The yolk protein precursor, vitellogenin (Vg), in bees is synthesized in the fat body trophocytes, delivered to the hemolymph and ultimately absorbed from there during the vitellogenic phase of oocyte...
