UCLA researchers use new microscope to ‘see’ atoms
May 5, 2010
UCLA researchers have used cryo-electron microscopy to image a virus structure at 3.3 angstroms (.33 nanometer), a resolution high enough to “see” atoms.
The technology allows samples to be imaged in their native environment, so the structural model is faithful to the original sample, and without needing to grow a crystal.
