Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

A Simple Touchscreen Fluorescence Cell Imager Improves Workflow for Routine Applications Whether it’s for gaining a better understanding of how cells work, studying the effects of drugs or toxins on ...

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.

Pushing the MINFLUX technique to higher spatial and temporal precision allows protein dynamics to be observed under physiological conditions. Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max ...

Computational fluorescence microscopy (CFM) requires accurate point spread function (PSF) characterization for high-quality ...

Imagine you're a PhD student with a fluorescent microscope and a sample of live bacteria. What's the best way use these resources to obtain detailed observations of bacterial division from the sample?

Chip technology presents a whole different view on microscopy. Chips are compact and can integrate multiple functionalities. The scaling possibilities could allow chip-based microscopes to be produced ...

A synchrotron is a circular particle accelerator. Charged particles (electrons) are accelerated through many magnets in the device until they exceed the speed of light. These particles produce a ...

Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) possess unique characteristics, including high biological compatibility, infinite photostability, the absence of photoblinking, a long fluorescence lifetime (>10 ns), ...
