Electron Microscopy
New electron microscopy study findings recently were published by B. Zuber and co-researchers

According to recent research from Cambridge, the United Kingdom, "The cell envelope of mycobacteria, which include the causative agents of tuberculosis and leprosy, is crucial for their success as pathogens. Despite a continued strong emphasis on identifying the multiple chemical components of this envelope, it has proven difficult to combine its components into a comprehensive structural model, primarily because the available ultrastructural data rely on conventional electron microscopy embedding and sectioning, which are known to induce artifacts." "The existence of an outer membrane billayer has long been postulated but has never been directly observed by electron...
