Re-characterization of the Glomerulopathy in CD2AP Deficient Mice by High-Resolution Helium Ion Scanning Microscopy

Abstract Helium ion scanning microscopy (HIM) is a novel technology that directly visualizes the cell surface ultrastructure without surface coating. Despite its very high resolution, it has not been applied extensively to study biological or pathology samples. Here we report the application of this...
