Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

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

Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy is an up-and-coming biomedical imaging technique for studying a broad range of diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and stroke. But its insufficient ...

A decade ago, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a trio of researchers for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. The announcement at the time stated that the researchers’ ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

Researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope that opens up a wide range of potential applications, including turning your smartphone camera into a portable, ...

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) say they have made an important leap forward with a novel methodology that adds an important microscopy capability to life scientists’ ...

Constructed from sturdy materials, with interchangeable stage plates, the Celestron Labs S10-60 has a professional, robust feel, provides a wide range of low-powered, clear, 3D images and is a useful ...
