A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

A research group led by Takashi Saito, of the Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine, developed a 2-photon excitation light-sheet fluorescence microscope which (1) lowers phototoxicity, (2) ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

“By understanding how cells mobilize to build organs, researchers can glean insights into why some cells become cancerous and lead to organ destruction. Instruments such as these are useful for ...

This seminar provides an overview of fluorescence microscopy in cancer research and other cell-based applications in the biosciences discovery workflow. In comparison with phase contrast and ...
