A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city ...
Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...
Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers unveil Back-Illumination Tomography (BIT), a high-speed microscope that provides unprecedented, real-time views of living tissue to accelerate patient care and ...
Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.
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 ...
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 ...
