Visualising biology is a proven powerful strategy of scientific discovery, with live microscopy being a particularly successful endeavour. But only the latest revolutionary technologies in advanced ...

In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek began investigating the world of the very small using the first microscope, discovering a riotous world of protists, bacteria, and other ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have implemented an advanced microscopy technique to visualize multiple ...

Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy is a super-resolution imaging technique that overcomes the diffraction limit of conventional optical microscopy. It enables the visualization of ...

A new study co-led by an Oregon Health & Science University researcher describes a breakthrough in microscopy tools that ...

Scientists have introduced a microscopy technique that reveals a hidden layer of chemistry involving molecules that normally ...

Cells rely on a network of tiny filaments to give them form and support their structure. One crucial filament is a protein called actin. Researchers have now devised a new way to monitor the movements ...

Dr Jessop said: “It’s a cutting-edge technique that means we can see exactly where the atoms are in a molecule, deep inside the cell. “This microscope would complete the imaging pipeline that would ...

Combining image analysis with a three-dimensional microscopy technique allows researchers to quantify new or little-understood cell biology phenomena, according to a new study publishing December 19 ...

What if a microscope allowed us to explore the 3D microcosm of blood vessels, nerves, and cancer cells instantaneously in virtual reality? What if it could provide views from multiple directions in ...

Researchers are carrying the field of microscopy a step further, refining a technique known as cryogenic electron microscopy, or cryo-EM. In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek ...
