Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

Rice University researchers have added a new dimension to their breakthrough technique that expands the capabilities of standard laboratory microscopes. Two years ago, the Rice lab of chemist Christy ...

Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

Researchers have created a method to design custom masks that transform 2D fluorescent microscopy images into 3D movies. Rice University researchers have added a new dimension to their breakthrough ...

IT SOUNDS like a claim as bold as turning base metals into gold or travelling faster than light. Viewing nanoscale particles with a light microscope just can’t be done. But the red dots visible down a ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...
