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

A new microscopy method enables researchers to visualize the activity of the enzymes caspase-3 and alkaline phosphatase in various biological samples (Nat. Methods 2024, DOI: ...

Researchers have reported a sample-prior-based approach to point spread function decoupling that improves system ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...

Scientists have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that 'feels' the atoms at a surface. The method ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

LMU researchers have developed a super-resolution microscopy method for the rapid differentiation of molecular structures in 3D. Super-resolution microscopy methods are essential for uncovering the ...

Rapid 3D image acquisition technique, without moving observation plane, developed by Tohoku and Osaka universities. Conceptual illustration of the “One-scan” microscopy method. A newly-proposed 3D ...

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

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
