Some of the most important discoveries in materials science and structural biology come down to a simple question: Where, ...

Every schoolkid has peered into a microscope and been awed by the hidden world of skin cells and squiggly bacteria. But microscopes are also critical tools for investigating the causes of disease and ...

The development of new forms of transmission electron microscopes that combine the features of both transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes will fuel the growth of the ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

When I was younger, I spent a lot of time collecting things around the house and using a microscope to examine them. While I had a lot of fun examining things, the one thing that was lacking was the ...

To observe living cells through a microscope, a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide. It then lies there calmly and the cells are observable. The disadvantage is that this limits how the ...

Using a microscope during root canal treatment may improve outcomes and aid in handling complex cases with a more favorable prognosis, according to a study recently published in the Journal of ...

Conventional microscopes provide essential information about samples in two dimensions—the plane of the microscope slide. But flat is not all that. In many instances, information about the object in ...

Miniature microscopes attached to the heads of living mice have enabled researchers to gain important insights about the neuronal pathways behind complex behaviors. Now, researchers report a new ...
