Chloroplasts also have a third internal membrane called the thylakoid membrane, which is extensively folded and appears as stacks of flattened disks in electron micrographs. The thylakoids contain ...

In this false-color electron microscopy image, the pyrenoid of a green algae is highlighted in blue, and the chloroplast, an organelle that carries out photosynthesis, is highlighted in green.

To do this they needed to visualize the structural architecture of the chloroplast RNA polymerase. The research team used a method called cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to image samples ...

These revelations were made when the researchers examined the chloroplast membranes under a cryo-scanning electron microscope and compared the alignment of proteins in the membranes under both ...
