and the University of Fribourg (UNIFR), have used cryo-electron microscopy to observe how lipids and proteins at the plasma membrane interact and react to mechanical stress. This work shows that, ...

The electron microscope reveals the structure of this gossamer layer, which not only constitutes the exterior of the cell but also folds inward to make up much of its internal architecture By J ...

Thereafter, the idea of a lipid bilayer became the basis for future models of membrane structure. (Sadava 1993). When the use of electron microscopy started to allow examination of the plasma ...

There are three types of pathways: Caveolae are small invaginations of the cell's plasma membrane. Under the electron microscope, caveolae look to be flask-shape pits about 50-80 nm across.
