Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Cornell researchers have designed a new, faster form of two-photon fluorescence imaging for observing cell metabolism in real ...

Understanding how living cells grow, respond to stimuli, and change over time is central to modern cell biology and drug discovery. Many traditional imaging approaches rely on fluorescent labels, ...

In this interview, Claudia Florindo talks about what matters when comparing benchtop fluorescence microscopes. What prompted Oxford Instruments to produce this buyer's guide, and what gaps or ...

descSPIM enables three-dimensional imaging of diverse tissues like neural cells and cancerous tumors. The widespread dissemination and adoption of descSPIM can accelerate biomedical discoveries. Three ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the seventeenth century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and ...

(A–C) Representative images reconstructed by conventional method (left) and new method (right) of microtubules, nuclear pore complexes and F-actin samples. The regions enclosed by the white boxes are ...

Nanobodies are extremely small antibody fragments that bind to specific molecules. When nanobodies are labeled with dyes, ...

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

A Drexel University research team has developed a way to forecast lithium-ion battery performance by analyzing microscopic images of electrodes before cells are ever assembled, potentially ...
