To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city where tiny parts called organelles move, reorganize, and respond to ...

Parts of a microscope and how a light microscope works Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a ...

Australian scientists develop a microscope that works with 35% more clarity, raising hope for improvements in medical imaging Australian researchers have developed a microscope that can image tiny ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

The development of microscopy and photonic techniques has enabled progress across a wide variety of research fields, mainly in the life sciences, where advanced microscopy has increased the contrast, ...

The mechanism of a confocal laser scanning microscope is to irradiate an object with a laser beam emitted from a light source, scan the entire object in two directions, the X-axis and the Y-axis, and ...

State-of-the-art microscopy is a vital tool in understanding the critical mechanisms of cell growth and division. We provide the latest in live cell imaging technology, enabling scientists at The ...

As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes ...
