“Essentially, we just ripped apart this $1.5-million sophisticated instrument to install this integrated light microscope, and now we have a much, much better system,” Dahlberg said.

The microscope combines polarized fluorescence technology, a valuable tool for measuring the orientation of molecules, with a ...

Using sheets of light to scan cells, a new microscope can capture real-time 3D videos of what's happening inside cells down to the molecular level—feat once thought impossible.. The inventors of ...

Cell Phones Turned Into Fluorescent Microscopes Date: July 22, 2009 Source: University of California - Berkeley Summary: Researchers have developed a cell phone microscope that not only takes ...

The light a lattice light-sheet microscope uses is also unusual. It uses a Bessel beam, which is a special kind of laser light that doesn’t diffract, or splinter. ( Learn more about that here .) ...

The researchers tested their technology with a commercial inverted microscope. They were able to image fine features, such as actin filaments, in fluorescently labeled Cos-7 cells—features that ...

Thanks to the diffraction limit, scientists could use the light microscope to see cells but not the proteins inside them or a virus attacking them.
