Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

Researchers have built a reconfigurable light-sheet microscope that lets users swap oil, water and air objectives while staying diffraction-limited across samples from single cells to cleared tissue.

Key points of this article I have obtained a technical paper written by Mr. Kato, the designer of the Nikon Portable Microscope Model H, which was released in 1958. The article "Portable Microscope ...

As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

During image analysis, researchers use light sheet microscopy of cleared tissue as a preferred method for high throughput volumetric imaging. A flexible system can provide a range of sizes, resolution ...

Using a “spooky” phenomenon of quantum physics, Caltech researchers have discovered a way to double the resolution of light microscopes. In a paper appearing in the journal Nature Communications, a ...
