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

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in collaboration with pathologists from Hadassah Hebrew ...

Researchers at the Institute of Electron Microscopy and Nanoanalysis (FELMI-ZFE) at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) ...

The key to understanding the drivers of physical and neurological disease lies in part with understanding the microscopic ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples.

The first line of treatment for cancer is, whenever possible, to remove the cancerous tissue from the body. Though often ...

The researchers demonstrated the utility of their technique on a slice of a mouse brain, 200 microns (0.2 millimeters) in thickness. First, they made their tissue sample see-through using a tweaked ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...
