Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

Powerful microscopes have made a quantum leap. Using a quantum trick with light has allowed researchers to examine living cells in unprecedented detail without destroying them, a technique that could ...

The invention that first enabled researchers to see clear images of living cells was the phase-contrast microscope, which won its inventor, Frits Zernike, a Nobel Prize in 1932. Prior to Zernike's ...

Linkam Scientific Instruments, a market leader in temperature-controlled microscopy, has reported on the use of its temperature-controlled stages for CLEM and fluorescence microscopy to assist in ...

As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes ...
