A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

In a recent article published in Nature Communications, researchers introduced NanoPlex, a novel strategy designed to overcome limitations in fluorescence microscopy by utilizing engineered secondary ...

Integrating deep learning in optical microscopy enhances image analysis, overcoming traditional limitations and improving classification and segmentation tasks.

The mIRage-LS optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) microscope has a spectral range of 3600-2700 and 1800-800 cm-1 for infrared (IR) spectroscopy and a spectral range of 3900 – 200 cm-1 for Raman ...

Imagine you’re sitting at a pond, listening to the din of croaking frogs. You want to know how many frogs are in the pond, but you can’t pick out the individual croaks—only the combined sound rising ...

Dynamics Author: Howard Goldner During the past few decades, fluorescence spectroscopy has developed into an integral technique in many scientific disciplines. In the life sciences, it is implemented ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...

Three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution microscopy is essential to study the minute structural details of cells and analyze molecular dynamics. Recently, researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität ...

In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon – when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging ...

Processes in the human body are shaped by the interaction of various biomolecules, such as proteins and DNA. These processes take place in a range of often just a few nanometers. They can therefore no ...
