Conventional light microscopy has been instrumental for the study of cells and microorganisms; fluorescence microscopy has enabled visualization of even smaller cell features by selectively adding ...

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 ...

Explore how correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) enables high-resolution insights into endocytic sorting.

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

A device that can convert a smartphone or tablet into a fluorescence microscope for less than US $50 is presented in a proof-of-principle study in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that the ...

Hey folks! I figured this would be best in the observatory. I'm relearning how to use microscopes and learning for the first time how to really use them more effectively, so that I can show my ...
