A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes.

University of Tokyo researchers have created a powerful new microscope that captures both forward- and back-scattered light ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have built a microscope that can detect a signal over an intensity range 14 times ...

In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Pizzagalli and colleagues present proof-of-principle analyses of immune cell motility ...

A team of researchers in Germany and Australia recently used a new microscopy technique to image nano-scale biological structures at a previously unmanageable resolution, without destroying the living ...

Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness of the cell nucleus—in living cells.

How do cells acquire their identities? In hopes of answering this question, a Duke team recently completed a study explaining the expression of stem cells after a decade of research. Stem cells are ...

There's a problem in cell biology research: to study what happens inside a cell, it has to be destroyed. When scientists use a traditional microscope to observe a cell, they use stains -- chemicals ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

On December 14, Nanolive will launch a new type of microscope. For the first time, this new tool will allow researchers to peer inside living cells without damaging them – i.e. without having to ...

After fertilization, embryos race through rapid cell divisions before slowing down to build specialized cells that will carry ...
