A portable holographic field microscope developed by University of Connecticut optical engineers could provide medical professionals with a fast and reliable new tool for the identification of ...

AN instrument has been devised for the very precise measurement of small objects, such as thin wires, blood cells or the like. The principle involved, which is a century and a half old, is that of the ...

A microscopy platform able to localize single-molecule emitters with ultrahigh precision has allowed direct measurement of the distance between molecules in intact cells, on a scale between 1 and 20 ...

Understanding when and why a cell dies is fundamental to the study of human development, disease and aging. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, ...

EPFL spin-off Nanolive has developed a microscope that lets scientists look inside live cells - a feature they say is particularly useful for new drug discovery. Founded by CEO Yann Cotte in 2013, the ...

The University of Colorado at Boulder has acquired two new state-of-the-art electron microscopes and a suite of complementing computers that are providing three-dimensional images of cellular ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

Scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus have developed a microscope which combines two imaging techniques to capture live 3-D images of cells. The research was ...

Merging lattice light sheet microscopy with adaptive optics reveals the most detailed picture yet of subcellular dynamics in multicellular organisms. Our window into the cellular world just got a ...
