Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such ...

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, ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Laser-driven thermoviscous flows provide contact-free rotation, transport or stabilization of delicate samples such as ...

Cell culture techniques have evolved well beyond early simplistic 2D monolayers to mimic nearly all features of a complex in vivo tissue environment. These new advanced models seek to replicate fully ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

Multicolor EM image of a fungus-infected fly. The nuclei (green) and mitochondria (purple) of the fungus are visible along with the surface structures (SEM) of the fungus-infected fly. This work was ...

Physically magnifying objects using a key moisture-absorbing ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world. When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass ...

Fluorescence microscopy has become an indispensable tool to investigate the dynamics of macromolecules directly in living cells on length scales ranging from the nanoscale via super-resolution ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...
