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

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

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

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish feats that neither could have done on its own. The microscope combines ...

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

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

Figure | Working principle of Interferometric Image Scanning Microscopy (iISM). (a) Schematic of the iISM microscope and interferometric PSF detection. (b) iISM with adaptive pixel-reassignment (APR) ...

Established laboratory tests mainly capture average values across many cells and show, for example, how many cancer cells survive after contact with immune cells.
