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

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

Our approach to super-resolution microscopy is fundamentally different from most existing techniques such as stimulated emission depletion microscopy, structured illumination microscopy, or ...

The University of Delaware's Bio-Imaging Center can now offer researchers a cool, new cutting-edge tool for peering into cells. It's called a "super-resolution" microscope, and only a handful of ...

Ground has been broken on a state-of-the-art research center at Brookhaven National Laboratory to house two advanced electron microscopes that will allow imaging of biological structures in ...

A handmade super-microscope -- capable of seeing the actual building blocks of a bacterial cell wall -- has helped researchers decipher how bacteria are able to literally build a wall against the ...

A new super powerful microscope that can examine objects a million times smaller than a human hair is being unveiled today. The instrument will help British scientists in fields such as advanced ...
