When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

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

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 ...

Exosomes are small vesicles, ranging from 30-120 nanometers in diameter, secreted from cells throughout the human body. They are marked on their surface by proteins termed ‘tetraspanins’, aptly named ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

A multimodal imaging study combines cryo-X-ray nanotomography and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to reveal how protein-coated nanoparticles behave in cells. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

As the super-resolution microscopy industry evolves, experimental needs and demands change alongside it. More and more, demand for super-resolution microscopy on live samples has grown and caught the ...

Scientists have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that 'feels' the atoms at a surface. The method ...

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an advanced in vivo tissue imaging technique that combines optical and acoustic approaches to overcome the optical diffusion limit. It can produce images with great ...
