Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

With the snap of a camera shutter — and a handy microscope — what was once small can become grand. Tap on the images below to enlarge A closeup peek at mouse brain tumor cells has won first place in ...

Nowadays, if you have a microscope, you probably have a camera of some sort attached. [Applied Science] shows how you can add an array of tiny LEDs and some compute power to produce high-resolution ...

A multimodal imaging study combines cryo-X-ray nanotomography and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to reveal how protein-coated nanoparticles behave in cells. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

A new imaging technique enables atomic-scale clarity with compact, low-energy electron microscopes, making high-resolution microscopy more accessible worldwide. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.
