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

Microscopy has advanced significantly over the centuries, but modern tools still face trade-offs. Quantitative phase ...

“The diameter of the most minute OLED pixels we have developed to date is in the range of 100 nanometers, which means they are around 50 times smaller than the current state of the art,” Jiwoo Oh, a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of Biomedical ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...
