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 ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

Explore 25 astonishing things you can only see under a microscope. Discover hidden universes in everyday objects, from ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

High-resolution imaging reveals a large protein complex in egg cells that stores key developmental molecules. The structure ...

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 ...

EPFL spin-off Nanolive has developed a microscope that lets scientists look inside live cells - a feature they say is particularly useful for new drug discovery. Founded by CEO Yann Cotte in 2013, the ...
