Pushing the MINFLUX technique to higher spatial and temporal precision allows protein dynamics to be observed under physiological conditions. Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

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

Hey folks! I figured this would be best in the observatory. I'm relearning how to use microscopes and learning for the first time how to really use them more effectively, so that I can show my ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Hamamatsu Photonics has succeeded in creating a technology “that upgrades the spatial resolution of two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy,” the company this week stated. Suited to ...

Imagine you’re a PhD student with a fluorescent microscope and a sample of live bacteria. What’s the best way use these resources to obtain detailed observations of bacterial division from the sample?
