This month’s Under the Lens discusses the application of high-speed atomic force microscopy to image fragile bacterial membrane vesicles by briefly touching them with a gentle tapping force, revealing species-specific heterogeneity in membrane vesicle size distribution linked to biological function.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses recent advances in high-resolution imaging of bacterial membrane proteins within intact liposomes by electron cryomicroscopy.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses dual-view light-sheet microscopy and how its use has revealed the dynamics of bacterial biofilm development, a fundamental process found in bacteria.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses recent advances in spatial metabolomics and light-sheet microscopy for imaging the biogeography of host–microbiota interactions.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses the use of single-molecule tracking in bacteria to study how CRISPR–Cas systems accurately and efficiently identify specific DNA sequences within viruses and other mobile genetic elements, thereby preventing their invasion.
