Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat ...

At many universities, student researchers rarely get the chance to even see a transmission electron microscope, or TEM, up ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...

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 ...

Multifocus microscope uses 25 tiny cameras to image rapid biological processes over the entire volume of small living organisms ...
