Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

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 ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

(a) MLAO was embedded in the microscope control to improve imaging quality by modulate the illumination light. Right-hand side showed an example of one operation cycle using MLAO. After using MLAO ...

To overcome these limitations, a collaboration between Institut Fresnel at Aix Marseille University and the Centre de Biologie Intégrative at Toulouse University in France led to the development of a ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a miniature microscope that is designed for high-resolution 3D images inside the brains of living mice. The new, lightweight design could help scientists understand how ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...
