Researchers have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. (Nanowerk News) To ensure that the tissue ...

Conventional histological stains, such as hematoxylin plus eosin (H&E), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are mainstays of histology that provide complementary diagnostic information. H&E and IHC ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have pioneered a groundbreaking approach in the imaging and detection of amyloid deposits in tissue samples. The innovative method ...

Uranyl acetate (UA) has been routinely used as a staining solution for ultrathin sections used in biological electron microscopy. As a radioactive nuclear material, UA is subject to strict ...

For centuries, biological imaging has relied on dyes and fluorescent labels to visualize cellular structures -- a practice that not only alters samples but can delay critical medical decisions.

Electron microscopes and modern computer image processing allowed University of Tokyo researchers to uncover the correct structure of a protein essential in the immune system, IgM, and a much smaller ...
