In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) illuminates a thin slice of a fluorescent sample and observes the emission from this plane perpendicularly 1. In consequence, a light sheet microscope (LSM) ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

Visualizing single-cell dynamics shaping complex tissues and understanding the underlying mechanisms is an overarching goal in biology. However, these complex biological phenomena often cross large ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

With its accuracy and agility, the Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ RaptIR+™ FTIR Microscope expedites sample analysis by producing actionable data rapidly. It can be time-consuming and challenging to hone ...

The INFINITY8-20C camera, which has an extremely high resolution and a wide field of view, is designed for quick sample focusing to capture every detail even at low magnification. The INFINITY8-20C ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

When using a measurement microscope, users can measure the size and dimensions of sample features in both two and three dimensions, which is important for inspection, quality control (QC), failure ...
