Superior imaging with cryo-ptychography
Professor Angus Kirkland and Dr Judy Kim have been working as part of an international team using JEOL instruments at the electron Physical Sciences Imaging Centre at Diamond, who have applied electron ptychography to biological structures for the first time.…
Creating a Molecular Movie
Professor James Naismith’s team will work closely with researchers from the University of Cardiff to use state-of-the-art technology to obtain time-lapse footage of enzymes catalysis. This innovation would allow scientist to first time visualise changes in the enzyme as the…
Viewing ‘naked’ DNA
We were excited to see Ben Davis’ group publish their first paper with their new Franklin address earlier this month. Working with Emilio Cocinero from Universidad del Pais Vasco (UPV) and Francisco Corzana from Universidad de la Rioja, Ben Davis’…
A new star of early cancer diagnosis?
Fluorescence imaging is a cutting edge technique wherein fluorescent dyes called fluorophores act as labels that expose molecular processes in cells and tissues. With the resolution to peer down to the single cell level, fluorescence imaging could have a dramatic…
