A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

Contributing to the development of new treatments with single-cell analysis and isolation A research team, led by Professor Moeto Nagai and comprised of researchers from the Department of Mechanical ...

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

Nikon just announced the winners of the 2024 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, where scientific microscope images become art. This year’s top prize went to Bruno Cisterna, who (assisted ...

An example of a cell image before and after segmentation, a process which allows researchers to distinguish single cells from each other and their background. Manually finding and labeling the ...

A public-private consortium has released a huge collection of image-based cell profiles. One of the earliest stages in the process of identifying a potential new drug is to expose cells to the ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...
