Researchers have created a completely self-contained fingertip-sized microscope to take pictures of the goings-on in the brain of a mouse as it goes about its normal, mousy day. In particular, it’s a ...

You might imagine that all one should need to operate a microscope would be a good set of eyes. Unfortunately if you are an amputee that may not be the case. Veterinary lab work for example requires ...

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 ...

"This microscope is very, very, very unusual," says Keller, a developmental biologist and optical physicist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia research campus. That's because it's built ...

This remarkable picture show the beginnings of life of a baby mouse from a one cell embryo to a fully grown pup. The video released by Cambridge University shows how the embryo grows from the width of ...

Researchers have developed a miniature microscope that is designed for high-resolution 3D images inside the brains of living mice. The new, lightweight design could help scientists understand how ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

Electrical and chemical signals flash through our brains constantly as we move through the world, but it would take a high-speed camera and a window into the brain to capture their fleeting paths.

A new microscope is giving researchers an unprecedented view of how mammals are built, cell by cell. Light sheet microscopes use ultrathin laser beams to illuminate sections of a specimen while ...

Fluorescence imaging can reveal details of neuronal activity in sections of the spinal cords of animals, but collecting data from living subjects can be challenging. Developments in micro-optics ...

Scientists have developed a new type of microscope that is able to see through skulls. A research team led by professor Choi Wonshik at the Centre for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics in Seoul ...
