Ein Durchbruch in der Elektronenmikroskopie liefert schärfere Bilder der kleinsten Proteine unseres Körpers: „Physiker der UC Berkeley haben den Phasenkontrast in das Elektronenmikroskop eingeführt, wodurch Wissenschaftler viel kleinere Moleküle und kleinere Strukturen im Inneren von Zellen sehen können.“ »

« With cryo-ET, we’re looking at small, very complicated cellular material that’s incredibly crowded inside the cell. It’s like a forest of trees, and you’re trying to find one leaf on one tree in there. Cryo-ET needs a dramatic step forward in contrast, so we can start to see what’s going on inside the cell. That’s what the laser phase plate promises to give us. »
