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

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

A new method allows scientists to label and image many different molecules at once within a living cell. The technique relies on 'switchable fluorophores' -- fluorescent proteins that turn on and off ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

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 ...

Images created with the new FLASH-PAINT microscopy technique, developed at Yale by the laboratory of Joerg Bewersdorf, PhD. Credit: Bewersdorf Laboratory, Yale University Images created with the new ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking approach to label-free visualization of intracellular cargo trafficking in living cells, achieving high-speed and limitless observation capabilities. By ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

The value measured by the 3D Cell Explorer is not fluorescence intensity of an exogenous molecule like with most optical microscopes. In contrast, Nanolive’s technology detects the physical refractive ...
