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 ...

Biomedical research involves getting a close look at what’s happening inside of cells. Usually, that happens after cells are grown on a glass slide and then fixed in place. They can then be treated so ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

A novel optical microscope utilizing diffraction tomography to generate 3D holographic images of unlabeled live cells is now available from Tomocube. Called HT-1, the new microscope delivers ...

RICHLAND, Wash. – At one o'clock in the morning, layers of warm plastic are deposited on the platform of the 3D printer that sits on scientist Rebecca Erikson's desk. A small plastic housing, designed ...
