This image shows a Vero cell that was grown on a first surface mirror and fluorescently stained to show the microtubules, which are part of the cell cytoskeleton. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

In plants, both microtubule-associated proteins (MAPS) and viral movement proteins (MPs) interact with microtubules. Recently, a unique plant structural MAP has been cloned, which may have a ...

Microtubules are the largest type of filament, with a diameter of about 25 nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a ...

But on the periphery of the microscope slide was something he’d never seen before. There were shapes that looked like short, slowly undulating tails. Sanchez walked down the hall to fetch Dogic, who ...

With a 20-fold expansion, researchers can use a conventional light microscope to resolve about 20 nanometers. This allows ...

The competition showcases the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light of the microscope ... cell differentiation (actin, microtubules and mitochondria). That image was the cover ...
