<p>Dr. Claudio Casali received his PhD in Genetics, Molecular, and Cellular Biology from the University of Pavia in 2022, where he conducted his research under the guidance of Professor Marco Biggiogera. His research focuses on the study of the cell nucleus, with particular attention to imaging approaches. He is interested in studying multiple forms of transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene expression control, including the organization of chromatin, epigenetic modifications, and splicing regulation. He became a member of the Society for Histochemistry (SfH) in 2022.</p>

Collection Overview

Electron microscopy (EM) has revolutionized biological research and remains a cornerstone technology. It provides superior resolution for visualizing cellular and molecular structures and surpasses many limitations of optical imaging. While the fundamental principles of EM have remained largely unchanged, ongoing enhancements continue to advance the field. These advancements result in cutting-edge innovations in imaging and data collection approaches.

Considering the precision and rigor demanded by this technology, the step-by-step visual demonstrations will serve as a valuable resource for conducting EM analyses. Therefore, this Methods Collection will encompass visual protocols detailing critically relevant approaches across various declinations of EM imaging. It aims to highlight the versatility of EM in modern biology through a broad range of topics and emphasize its potential and impact as a research tool.
