Technological advances in volume electron microscopy allow imaging and analysis of whole cells at record resolution.

Researchers have registered a gene expression atlas to a whole-body EM volume of a marine bristle worm.

Direct experimental observations reveal that grain boundaries in aluminium oxide migrate by a chain of structural phase transformations within the boundary core.

Combining cryogenic super-resolution microscopy and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy allows nanoscale views of protein architecture in the context of cellular ultrastructure in whole cells.
