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

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Fast, gentle, and highly specific glycoprotein labeling compatible with downstream immunofluorescence, enabled by ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...
