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 ...

The ability to dynamically track the movement of cells is essential for modeling cellular interactions as they form organs such as the heart. But current microscope technology isn't up to the task of ...

Princeton scientists are peering into the smallest corners of matter using an exceptional collection of sophisticated microscopes — some so big they fill a room. These remarkable instruments have ...

A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

Anyone who has ever used a microscope knows that it takes time to bring a sample into sharp focus. Each time you move the ...

A stained breast cancer sample was imaged using red, green, and blue LEDs. A new computational microscopy technique developed at Caltech, called APIC, was used to reconstruct the detailed color image ...

Scanning tunneling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many years ...
