A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

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 ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Chemotherapy is a powerful weapon against cancer, but certain cells resist treatment by entering a dormant stage called senescence. These therapy-induced senescent (TIS) cells may become resistant to ...

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 ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

After it fills with cargo, the pit pinches off to form a clathrin-coated, membrane-bound vesicle inside the cell, which then proceeds to its proper destination. In cultured cells, hundreds of these ...

It started in a neuroscience lab. Andrea Antonini was researching endoscopic microscopy – essentially, microscopic imaging of the body’s internal organs – alongside other neuroscientists at the ...
