A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

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 ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a new way of mapping cell populations and visualizing how biomolecules, including different sequences of DNA and RNA, are organized ...

Looking at human cells isn’t as simple as it sounds, especially when scientists want to examine clearly, in 3D, how multiple structures change over a time while cells are alive. Now, the Allen ...

Rebecca Bonfig and Matthew Weitzman (both Olympus Life Science, MA, USA) explore the ways researchers can make the most out of their treasured neural and brain tissue samples using three different ...

A new variant of expansion microscopy that is tailored for brain pathology samples reveals cells and structures that can’t be seen with other methods. Expansion microscopy is a way of achieving the ...

The use of fluorescent markers/stains to examine cells has become very popular. Fluorescent stains have many advantages over traditional staining dyes. Fluorescent stains do not limit the analysis of ...
