Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

We present a modular epifluorescence tracking microscope which enables ratiometric imaging of muscles, neurons, and other structures in moving animals. The microscope is assembled entirely from ...

In Nijmegen, Netherlands, researchers have installed the world's first microscope capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. This new ...

Histopathology describes the process of examining pieces of tissue using a microscope. Light microscopic (LM) examination of tissue helps diagnose several types of cancer by allowing pathologists to ...

A chemistry student has won a photo award for a striking image revealing a world most never see: the beauty of scientific ...
