Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers unveil Back-Illumination Tomography (BIT), a high-speed microscope that provides ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

Histology is one of the foundations of modern diagnostics. When physicians want to determine whether tissue is pathologically ...

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

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Acoustic microscopy and impedance analysis have emerged as pivotal tools in the non‐invasive investigation of biological tissues. By utilising high-frequency sound waves, these techniques deliver ...

In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon – when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging ...

Freshly dissected tissue (lower left) and its pathology-prepared slide with identified tumor regions by a pathologist (upper left), and a pseudo-color image of hyperspectral dark-field microscopy ...
