To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

The research team achieved this by targeting all the proteins in the cell with small molecules that subsequently link up with other compounds under light to produce large ... A standard benchtop ...

These microscopes use visible light and one or more lenses to magnify ... microscopists obtained the first micrographs of cell structures. Under ideal conditions, an optical microscope enables ...

Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, these signals can only be detected by looking at the cells under a microscope ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

then began to produce light-sensitive GEF enzymes on their own. In experiments, the researchers then placed each enzyme-infused egg cell under a microscope and shone light onto the cell in ...
