Cells In A New Light By combining the sensitivity of fluorescent dyes with optical systems that can detect colorful but low-intensity fluorescent light, researchers in many life sciences are able to ...

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 ...

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 ...

descSPIM enables three-dimensional imaging of diverse tissues like neural cells and cancerous tumors. The widespread dissemination and adoption of descSPIM can accelerate biomedical discoveries. Three ...

A team from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has introduced a new method for megapixel-scale fluorescence microscopy through complex scattering media. This approach resolves high-resolution images ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

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

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

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...
