How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

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, ...

Chemists discover how key contrast agent works, paving a way to create new markers needed for correlative microscopy that can image the structure and signaling of cells at the same time. Two labs at ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

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 ...

Scientists developed a new microscope based on Brillouin scattering -- a phenomenon where light interacts with naturally occurring thermal vibrations within materials, from which their mechanical ...

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

TEM works by transmitting a beam of electrons through an ultra-thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the specimen, they are scattered or transmitted, producing an image that is magnified and ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
