To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

Researchers have developed a new measurement and imaging approach that can resolve nanostructures smaller than the diffraction limit of light. After light interacts with a sample, the new technique ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

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

Second harmonic generation microscopy (SHG) is generally acknowledged as a powerful tool for the label-free three-dimensional visualization of tissues and advanced materials, with one of its most ...

Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

Cell surface receptors, such as the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), play central roles signalling pathways. Due to their central role in regulating a wide range ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...
