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

Light-sheet microscopy has emerged as a transformative imaging modality that enables rapid, three‐dimensional visualisation of biological specimens with minimal photodamage. By illuminating samples ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Zeiss Microscopy, Jena, Germany, a manufacturer of visible, electron, X-ray and ion microscope systems, has added two super-resolution microscopes to its structured illumination microscopy (SIM) range ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

Researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope that opens up a wide range of potential applications, including turning your smartphone camera into a portable, ...

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 ...
