With the snap of a camera shutter — and a handy microscope — what was once small can become grand. Tap on the images below to enlarge A closeup peek at mouse brain tumor cells has won first place in ...

Nowadays, if you have a microscope, you probably have a camera of some sort attached. [Applied Science] shows how you can add an array of tiny LEDs and some compute power to produce high-resolution ...

When cell samples stained with these molecules are examined using two-photon microscopy, the molecules behave as if they were ...

Led by Arthur Blackburn, co-director of UVic's Advanced Microscopy Facility, the team developed a novel imaging technique that allowed them to achieve sub-Ångström resolution using a compact, ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

A multimodal imaging study combines cryo-X-ray nanotomography and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to reveal how protein-coated nanoparticles behave in cells. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.
