A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

The new microscope is a so-called multifocus microscope, which provides completely clear images, sorted into different layers, where you can study the cells from all angles. "It's a big deal. The fact ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such ...

EPFL spin-off Nanolive has developed a microscope that lets scientists look inside live cells – a feature they say is particularly useful for new drug discovery. Founded by CEO Yann Cotte in 2013, the ...

A mouse’s heart beats roughly 600 times each minute. With every beat, blood pumping through vessels jiggles the brain and other organs. That motion doesn’t trouble the mouse, but it does pose a ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...
