Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), ...

Drug discovery is shifting from static snapshots to moving pictures. Instead of inferring how medicines work from end results ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...
