Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

A new microscopy method enables researchers to visualize the activity of the enzymes caspase-3 and alkaline phosphatase in various biological samples (Nat. Methods 2024, DOI: ...

New methods to improve super-resolution imaging techniques are giving biologists a clearer and more complete view of the inner workings of living cells. A new paper in Nature Biotechnology from the ...

LMU researchers have developed a super-resolution microscopy method for the rapid differentiation of molecular structures in 3D. Super-resolution microscopy methods are essential for uncovering the ...

In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon – when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging ...

Imagine building a traffic surveillance camera that could detect trouble-making cells speeding around in your brain before their cellular gang could commit "crimes." Most importantly, this camera ...

A new fluorescent chemistry approach reduces background interference by activating dyes only when they attach to target ...
