Which microscope can view DNA?

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 see how proteins, RNA and other biomolecules interact with DNA. read more

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 see how proteins, RNA and other biomolecules interact with DNA. The structure of DNA was originally discovered using X-ray crystallography. read more

With the invention of electron microscopes, which can produce images of material at the molecular level, DNA can be seen. If it could not, gene splicing would not be possible. Such microscopes are hugely expensive, however, and takes the resources of a major, well funded laboratory. read more
