Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally ... making tiny details easier to see under a standard microscope. So, instead of a zoomed-in picture where individual elements may become ...

Dr. James Lim, associate professor of pediatrics at UBC’s faculty of medicine, observes pediatric cancer cells grown in a chicken egg under a microscope.

Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as ...
