An international team of researchers led by UT Southwestern Medical Center has developed a versatile light-sheet microscope ...

Microscope photos allow us to see where small particles inside a cell are located. But if those particles move toward or away ...

A complete, ready-to-teach GCSE Biology lesson focused on using light microscopes to observe cells, with links to the GCSE Required Practical on using a light microscope to observe and draw plant and ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original size ...

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.

The invention that first enabled researchers to see clear images of living cells was the phase-contrast microscope, which won its inventor, Frits Zernike, a Nobel Prize in 1932. Prior to Zernike's ...
