Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

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, ...

In a landmark achievement in biological imaging, researchers at Biohub and the University of California, Berkeley today ...

To study living organisms at ever smaller length scales, scientists must devise new techniques to overcome the so-called diffraction limit. This is the intrinsic limitation on a microscope's ability ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Key takeaways: Super-resolution ...

Let's take a look at how to observe cells under a microscope. No prizes for guessing the first thing you'll need: a microscope. But don't worry if you don't have one of your own. Ask your school if ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

Cells are tiny, so we use microscopes to see their details. A slide is a thin piece of glass used to hold objects which are examined under a microscope. Peel a thin layer of cells from an onion. Place ...
