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

Since 1987, Sarasota's Dennis Brock has been producing the Brock Magiscope, which draws from ambient light and minimizes ...

We currently have some older SPOT cameras attached to microscopes - they work okay, but are somewhat slow (they expose Red/expose Blue/expose Green). On wetter slides this creates problems since at ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future insight into ...

The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...

Robert Prevedel is a researcher at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL; Heidelberg, Germany), whose lab focuses on developing light microscopy-based techniques for a variety of ...

The ability of single particle cryo-electron microscopy to capture structural information on samples that could not be crystallized for use with crystallographic methods or were too delicate for ...
