Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of the most significant developments in optics. Due to the wave nature of light ...

To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

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 ...

eDL-cSIM: An AI-driven super-resolution imaging method that captures high-quality live-cell dynamics in a single exposure, enhancing speed, resolution, and environmental robustness for advanced ...

Cell surface receptors, such as the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), play central roles signalling pathways. Due to their central role in regulating a wide range ...
