Visualising biology is a proven powerful strategy of scientific discovery, with live microscopy being a particularly successful endeavour. But only the latest revolutionary technologies in advanced ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek began investigating the world of the very small using the first microscope, discovering a riotous world of protists, bacteria, and other ...

An international research team has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings are considered as the precursor of lesions in the brain of people with ...

Cells rely on a network of tiny filaments to give them form and support their structure. One crucial filament is a protein called actin. Researchers have now devised a new way to monitor the movements ...

What if a microscope allowed us to explore the 3D microcosm of blood vessels, nerves, and cancer cells instantaneously in virtual reality? What if it could provide views from multiple directions in ...

Combining image analysis with a three-dimensional microscopy technique allows researchers to quantify new or little-understood cell biology phenomena, according to a new study publishing December 19 ...

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) enables biological discoveries by merging different microscopes and imaging modalities to study systems in 4D. Combining fluorescence microscopy with ...

Engineers have improved the speed and throughput of Brillouin microscopy 1000-fold. A novel approach for Brillouin microscopy, developed by engineers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL ...

From high-throughput robotics to cryogenic electron microscopes, the state-of-the-art imaging technologies housed at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) are world-class. One recent addition – a ...

Researchers are carrying the field of microscopy a step further, refining a technique known as cryogenic electron microscopy, or cryo-EM. In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek ...
