Crio electron microscope reveals structure of bio molecules that have been isolated from their surroundings and then frozen in crio e m. The samples are showered with beams of electrons. So far, researchers have used it to solve the structures of more than ten thousand biological molecules. This is why wolf gang baumeister, a biophysicist at the max plank institute of bio chemistry in martin's, re germany has dubbed it molecular sociology.
Cutting-edge microscopy techniques are letting researchers visualize biological molecules within cells, rather than studying them in isolation. This approach is providing new insights into how these structures interact in this complex environment.This is an audio version of our feature: The secret lives of cells — as never seen before
