The film explores the fascinating world revealed by microscopes, showcasing how everyday substances like pond water and blood contain a myriad of microorganisms. It details the evolution of microscope ...

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

A research group led by Takashi Saito, of the Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine, developed a 2-photon excitation light-sheet fluorescence microscope which (1) lowers phototoxicity, (2) ...

One of the earliest iterations of the microscope was built in the 1600s by the microscopy pioneer Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. His work not only developed the field of microscopy but opened up the study ...

The majority of life in the ocean is microscopic and constitutes the base of the ocean food web, driving large-scale, global processes – for example, organisms such as phytoplanktons produce around ...

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...
