Researchers have developed a new microscope that can visualize the optical response of surfaces at an unprecedented spatial resolution of one nanometer. This paves the way for optical microscopy of ...

There is a growing demand for non-invasive insights into the complex three-dimensional subcellular dynamics within living tissues at the frontier of biological research. Professor Xi Peng's group at ...

To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...

A new electron spin resonance-atomic force microscopy setup enables single-spin quantum control on nonconductive samples.

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

Stanford University researchers have built a microscope capable of imaging nanostructures inside living cells ...

The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries increasingly require rapid, accurate, and high-resolution analytical tools to characterize complex materials, ensure product quality, and accelerate ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...
