Tunable TIRF microscopy enables multi-depth imaging of living cells and accelerates studies of cancer metastasis and vascular ...

Stanford scientists have developed a revolutionary microscope that reveals the hidden inner workings of living cells in real ...

Stanford chemists have built a microscope that images the inside of living cells at about 120 nanometers without any ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

Shining light deep into a cell.If you can do that, it feels like you can see inside. However, a microscope also needs a way back. Unless the light generated inside returns to the lens and camera, it ...

Microscopy just got reinvented – again. Traditionally, scientists have used light, x-rays, and electrons to peer inside tissues and cells. Today, scientists can trace thread-like fibers of nerves ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

In biology, seeing can lead to understanding, and researchers in Professor Edward Boyden's lab at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research are committed to bringing life into sharper focus. With a ...

Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...

A laser (purple) is powerfully amplified by highly polished mirrors and focused on the electron beam (blue) to shift its phase and increase the cryo-EM microscope’s contrast, allowing biologists to ...
