Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

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

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that ...

This review outlines the potential of smart microscopy to transform biological imaging through adaptive systems that optimize data collection and image quality.

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...
