Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers unveil Back-Illumination Tomography (BIT), a high-speed microscope that provides unprecedented, real-time views of living tissue to accelerate patient care and ...

What is Structured Illumination Microscopy? Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique that allows for imaging beyond the diffraction limit of ...

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

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

A new holographic microscope allows scientists to see through the skull and image the brain. The new label-free deep-tissue imaging with the wave correction algorithm retrieves the fine neural network ...
