Researchers at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (MD, USA) have combined two different microscope technologies to create sharper images of rapidly moving processes inside ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Cells contain various specialized structures - such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes - known as "organelles''. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Martin Jones describes how new approaches to electron microscopy are helping biomedical scientists get the most out of ever-increasing flows of data Thinly sliced This focused ion beam scanning ...

Our approach to super-resolution microscopy is fundamentally different from most existing techniques such as stimulated emission depletion microscopy, structured illumination microscopy, or ...

(Nanowerk News) In work that could lead to new ways of detecting and treating malaria, MIT researchers have used two advanced microscopy techniques to show in unprecedented detail how the malaria ...

They protect us from the onslaught of bacteria and viruses and also from cancer: T cells are an indispensable part of our immune system. They constantly renew their surface with thousands of highly ...

Advances in cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), primarily driven by the life sciences, have emerged as powerful techniques for the characterization of beam and air sensitive materials. Cryo-EM ...

A powerful new microscopy tool has been created by researchers working at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) capable of taking nanoscale level measurements of the movements of individual molecules ...
