How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

After years of development, researchers have managed to shrink two-photon microscopy into a device that can be mounted on rodents’ heads without impeding behaviour. As Weijian Zong stared at a ...

AFM is commonly used to characterize nanoparticles, which include valuable data related to their qualitative and quantitative properties. For instance, it provides information about the physical ...

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 ...

Nikon just announced the winners of the 2024 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, where scientific microscope images become art. This year’s top prize went to Bruno Cisterna, who (assisted ...

Researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm for removing systematic effects from atomic force microscopy images, enabling more precise profiles of material surfaces. Atomic force microscopy, ...

In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

Modern microscopes are essentially very specialized camera systems with a powerful zoom, so it’s not surprising that some of the images scientists take while they work are stunning artworks in their ...

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of Biomedical ...
