The development of microscopy and photonic techniques has enabled progress across a wide variety of research fields, mainly in the life sciences, where advanced microscopy has increased the contrast, ...

They can make tiny cell structures visible: cutting-edge light microscopes offer resolutions of a few tenths of a nanometer -- in other words, a millionth of a millimeter. Until now, super-resolution ...

Cryogenic microscopy at Diamond Light Source enables high-resolution, correlative imaging of cells under near-physiological ...

Explore how correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) enables high-resolution insights into endocytic sorting.

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

Researchers have demonstrated a quantum microscope that can break through a fundamental barrier faced by regular microscopes and see tiny structures that are normally invisible. The device “squeezes” ...

Researchers have developed a new method for rapid 3D imaging. Instead of having to scan repeatedly in 2D, the researchers proposed a one-scan technique that uses a light needle to process at depth and ...

The Zeiss LightSheet Z.1 is a stand-alone SPIM (Side Plane Illumination Microscope) capable of imaging large, living specimens at much greater speeds than more traditional confocal technology. It is ...

A newly proposed technique enables rapid 3D image acquisition. One-scan is a technique involving an elongated light spot that resembles a “needle” which captures three-dimensional (3D) images of a ...
