Liquid Phase Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy of Bacillus subtilis Spores

This paper demonstrates liquid phase BSE-SEM for imaging Bacillus subtilis spores with high-contrast, preserving native hydration and reducing sample preparation needs.

Electron diffraction captures high-resolution structures from in vivo protein nanocrystals of Bacillus thuringiensis

This study uses electron diffraction techniques to determine the structure of in vivo protein nanocrystals from Bacillus thuringiensis, showing they are viable alternatives to X-ray free electron lasers.

Reduction of SEM charging artefacts in native cryogenic biological samples.

This paper reduces SEM charging artefacts in cryogenic biological samples using interleaved scanning, enabling clearer visualization of previously masked structures.

Liquid phase electron microscopy of bacterial ultrastructure

This paper demonstrates the use of liquid phase electron microscopy to achieve high-resolution imaging of bacterial ultrastructure while mitigating radiation damage and sample thickness issues.

Multi-synaptic boutons are a feature of CA1 hippocampal connections that may underlie network synchrony

The paper identifies multi-synaptic boutons (MSBs) in CA1 hippocampal connections, which show reduced variation in synaptic properties and may support network synchrony.
