With his camera-mounted microscope, a photographer zooms in to the cellular level to capture the hidden beauty of poplars, pine cones, and dandelions. Red and blue dyes isolate parts of the interior ...

Modern microscopes are essentially very specialized camera systems with a powerful zoom, so it’s not surprising that some of the images scientists take while they work are stunning artworks in their ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...

Researchers developed a large-scale, dynamic imaging technique using mesoscopic oblique plane microscopy, which can capture 3D images of entire organisms and maintain cellular resolution. A new ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...
