A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

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

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

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 ...

First author Karl D. Briegel (l.) with Prof Dominik B. Bucher and their new microscope. The resolution of the new MRI microscope reaches ten-millionths of a meter - that is so fine that even the ...

QIScope: When imaging low protein levels in live cells on the high-sensitivity QIScope, bioluminescence (blue) significantly outperforms fluorescence (green). (Courtesy: Ruyu Ma - Helmholtz Munich) A ...

Researchers have shown that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

Anyone who has ever used a microscope knows that it takes time to bring a sample into sharp focus. Each time you move the slide, the image blurs, and you have to stop and carefully turn a knob to ...
