Thereafter, the idea of a lipid bilayer became the basis for future models of membrane structure. (Sadava 1993). When the use of electron microscopy started to allow examination of the plasma ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller ...

There are three types of pathways: Caveolae are small invaginations of the cell's plasma membrane. Under the electron microscope, caveolae look to be flask-shape pits about 50-80 nm across.

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...
