Jamie's paper uses both confocal microscopy and TEM imaging to show that the complex glycosylation of sEVs means that they could be used for early diagnosis of breast cancer

Did you know that when you image fixed Plasmodium flagella at super-resolution, you can even see where they lie over each other, like strands of spaghetti? I didn't either until this afternoon 🔬
Taken with our Nikon NSPARC confocal, with thanks to Dr Molly Hair and Prof Sue Vaughan for the samples!

Last Saturday we ran the "Zooming Into Life" stand at the Science Bazaar #BrookesBazaar25. Thank you to our wonderful researchers (pictured) for helping out and we hope you enjoyed building cells, turning your phone into a microscope and peering at beetles, plants and samples from the Thames!
