Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

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

Pop a cover slip on the slide and then put the slide onto the microscope. Take a look! Check out that strong cell wall structure. It's solid so that it keeps a plant's shape and structure.

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

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 ...

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

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts—cells with their walls removed—of cabbage's cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose fibers ...

Plants don't just grow, they build. From towering trees to delicate flowers, complex plant shapes are sculpted with ...

Organisms grow, and cells move and multiply, requiring human intervention to frequently redirect the microscope's field of view—a tedious task when imaging biological processes that take place ...
