Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

Researchers have used tip-scan high-speed atomic force microscopy combined with an optical microscope to observe light-induced deformation of azo-polymer films. The process could be followed in real ...

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 ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Expanding our scientific understanding often comes down to getting as close a look as possible at what is happening. Now researchers from Japan have observed the nanoscale behavior of azo-polymer ...

A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...

These images show the high resolution achieved with the new microscopy technique. A mouse brain cross-section as seen with photoacoustic imaging is shown in the upper left image, with two detailed ...

A new computational microscopy technique solves for true high-resolution images without the guesswork that has limited the precision of other techniques. For hundreds of years, the clarity and ...

Researchers from Osaka University combine high-speed atomic force microscopy with a laser light source for real-time observation of azo-polymer films Osaka, Japan – Expanding our scientific ...

A stained breast cancer sample was imaged using red, green, and blue LEDs. A new computational microscopy technique developed at Caltech, called APIC, was used to reconstruct the detailed color image ...
