15 mar 2024 · Most people are familiar with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from illustrations and animations—a swirly strand of colorful fibers in reds, blues, and yellows. This rainbow, we are told, holds key genetic information and instructions for protein synthesis.
Essentially, the process involves the capture of many images of the sample from various angles and using the images to build a 3D structure. Using this technique, researchers have managed to develop and present a variety of 3D images of DNA strands showing the structure of DNA from different angles. Atomic Force Microscopy
28 lis 2012 · Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails. The technique will let researchers...
30 lis 2012 · These new images are now direct pictures of DNA strands, seen through an electron microscope, which sees electrons rather than photons. The scientists published their findings in the journal Nanoletters.
30 lis 2012 · DNA's double-helix structure is on display for the first time in this electron microscope photograph of a small bundle of DNA strands. (Image credit: Enzo Di Fabrizio)
12 gru 2012 · A team of Italian scientists have taken a snapshot of a single DNA molecule for the first time using the electron microscope. This technological breakthrough comes after years of depending on X-ray diffraction to provide indirect, albeit useful, information on the structure of DNA.
30 lis 2012 · Fifty-nine years after James Watson and Francis Crick deduced the double-helix structure of DNA, a scientist has captured the first direct photograph of the twisted ladder that props up life.
