Light microscopy is a cornerstone in life sciences technology, having experienced considerable diversification since its inception. This development becomes visible when considering the distinctive ...

Light-sheet microscopy has emerged as a transformative imaging modality that enables rapid, three‐dimensional visualisation of biological specimens with minimal photodamage. By illuminating samples ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat ...

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have created an “optical sieve” capable of detecting minute nanoplastic particles. Functioning much like a test strip, this innovation is designed to provide ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Multifocus microscope uses 25 tiny cameras to image rapid biological processes over the entire volume of small living ...

Our remarkable ability to perform complex tasks—such as thinking, observing, and touch—stems from proteins, the tiny nanometer-sized molecules in the body. Despite decades of research, our ...

Gears have powered the world for millennia, from clock machines to car engines. But miniaturizing them to microscopic ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...
