Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

(Nanowerk News) Inside a living cell, proteins and other molecules are often tightly packed together. These dense clusters can be difficult to image because the fluorescent labels used to make them ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

The microscopic world of cells and bacteria is incredibly important to understand, but tricky to study in detail, especially without harming the subjects. Researchers at EPFL have now developed a new ...

Scientists at MIT have developed a new microscopy technique that can make finer images of deeper tissue more quickly. The new technique offers the opportunity to obtain high-resolution images of blood ...

A pioneering technique developed by the Prevedel Group at EMBL allows neuroscientists to observe live neurons deep inside the brain – or any other cell hidden within an opaque tissue. The technique is ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...
