Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

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 ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

Explore how correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) enables high-resolution insights into endocytic sorting.

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Nonlinear Raman microscopy techniques, such as coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering and stimulated Raman scattering, are widely used to provide chemical and spatial information. A third nonlinear ...

Living organisms are complex systems with scales of organization spanning the range from Angstroms to meters. Even when consideration is limited to single cells and smaller, there is still a range of ...

First author Karl D. Briegel (l.) with Prof Dominik B. Bucher and their new microscope. The resolution of the new MRI microscope reaches ten-millionths of a meter - that is so fine that even the ...
