We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain ...

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 ...

Single-photon (1P) epifluorescent miniature microscopes are important tools that have generated numerous neuroscientific advancements for more than a decade 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. These microscopes enable ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

In order to accurately obtain all the information of the observed object, extending the depth of field (DOF) and zooming have always been the research hotspots in the field of microscopy. The DOF of ...
