Indian American researcher’s new AI-enhanced scanning method promises to boost quest for high-resolution mapping of the brain ...

Since 1987, Sarasota's Dennis Brock has been producing the Brock Magiscope, which draws from ambient light and minimizes ...

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

Using machine learning to guide microscopes could reveal greater insights into the brain's connectome and deepen our ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSMs) use a laser to generate a digital image of a given sample. Confocal microscopes work in tandem with ‘fluorescent tagging’, which involves the alteration of ...

X-ray vision was state-of-the-art when Superman launched his career in the 1930s. But if the superhero wants to keep pace with the modern world of nanotechnology, he should upgrade to electron vision, ...

For those of you who haven’t visited the websites of Carl Zeiss or Nikon lately, fluorescent microscopes are expensive. Typically, microscopes of the sort required by pathologists to make diagnosis ...

Ordinary microscopes can see 8 times more minutely than known physical limits if miniature glass spheres are sprinkled onto samples, according to a new study. The cheapest and most common microscopes ...

There's a limit to what you can learn about cells from 2D pictures, but creating 3D images is a time-intensive process. Now, scientists from UT Southwestern have developed a new "simple and ...

In many areas of neurobiology and cell biology, researchers who a decade ago were confined to studying stained tissues are today using their microscopes in new ways to directly observe dynamic events ...
