They were the first in the world to image the entire chromosome in its natural state. Scientists from the Institute of Instrumentation of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic believe that their revolutionary discovery of miniature protrusions with spatially arranged loops of fibers on the surface of the chromosome can be used in medicine or agriculture. The new method will enable a fundamental shift in the investigation of living nature and human health.
After years of research and attempts by world laboratories to visualize biological samples in their natural state, Czech scientists came up with a solution. They improved the environmental electron microscopy method, which they called A-ESEM. According to the author of the method, Vilém Neděla, head of the Brno Environmental Electron Microscopy team of the Institute of Instrumentation of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ÚPT), this innovation opens up completely new possibilities for examining both non-living and especially living matter.
