Some of the most important discoveries in materials science and structural biology come down to a simple question: Where, ...

Just as it is difficult for a camera to keep both a nearby flower and a distant mountain sharply focused at the same time, ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

Researchers have built a reconfigurable light-sheet microscope that lets users swap oil, water and air objectives while ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures brain activity optically based on changes in cortical blood flow. Unlike magnetic resonance imaging, the technique is wearable, so it can be used ...

Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase-contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

In this study, a single atom trapped by an optical tweezer was successfully utilized as a scanning probe *4 for imaging the fine structures of intensity and polarization distributions of light ...

In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley campus, two bespoke microscopes — each a Swiss Army knife for high-resolution imaging — operate around the clock gathering data ...

The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain Carlyn Kranking | Associate ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...
