Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...

A dedicated bioimaging function at GSK has shown how integrated microscopy and analytics can deliver quantitative evidence ...

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 have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

Accutane, known generically as isotretinoin, is not simply a strong acne medication. It is a systemic retinoid that ...

The virus is then pinched off into a vesicle and carried deeper into the cell, toward the nucleus. This new microscopy technique could also help shape future medicines. Researchers can use it to test ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Instead of relying on lenses to zoom in, expansion microscopy physically enlarges biological tissues by embedding them in a hydrogel, a water-absorbing polymer that can expand without losing its shape ...

For biologists, seeing is believing. But sometimes biologists have a hard time seeing. One particularly vexing challenge is seeing all the molecules in an intact tissue sample, down to the level of ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...
