To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

There is a growing demand for non-invasive insights into the complex three-dimensional subcellular dynamics within living tissues on the frontier of biological research. To achieve simultaneous ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

Researchers devised a way to expand tissue 20-fold in a single step. Their simple, inexpensive method could pave the way for nearly any biology lab to perform nanoscale imaging. A classical way to ...

Recent advances in optical physics have redefined the classical boundaries imposed by diffraction. Super-resolution imaging techniques, which once adhered strictly to the Rayleigh criterion, now ...

Existing super-resolution techniques still face considerable challenges in complex deep tissue environments. For example, Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy relies on a doughnut-shaped ...

Advancements in quantum imaging are transforming scientific research, offering unprecedented resolution and sensitivity for ...

To overcome these limitations, the research team turned to super-resolution imaging with sparse modeling. In radio astronomy, images are commonly restored based on a specific assumption to compensate ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...
