Through this article collection, we hope to provide researchers with more information on the application of volume electron microscopy techniques, allowing them to further their research in this field.
What you will learn:
- Which techniques belong to volume electron microscopy.
- How to apply different vEM techniques in different research fields in the life sciences.
- What you can achieve by using vEM techniques to analyze cell structure and tissues.
More Information
Even though life exists in 3D, until the beginning of this century, most electron microscopy methods provided only 2D image data. Thanks to recent advances, electron microscopy can now go deeper into the structure of cells and tissues. Volume electron microscopy (vEM) is a group of techniques encompassing high-resolution imaging methods used to reveal the 3D structure of cells, tissues, and small model organisms at nanometer resolution. Lately, vEM has been widely employed to investigate cell structure and tissues in multiple fields, such as neuroscience, immunology, cancer research, developmental biology, plant biology, and biomaterials.
