a, absorption of light in biological materials is significantly increased in the deep UV, yet conventional optical materials also stop being transparent. b, a purpose-built UV microscope enables the ...

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

While not all microscopy samples can fluoresce, all can scatter light, and this scattered light can be imaged. This has resulted in the development of scattering microscopy techniques, such as ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Cells and tissues rely on the circulation of red blood cells (RBCs) for oxygen supply. Two-photon (2P) microscopy is a reference technique for measuring RBC microcirculation and blood oxygenation ...

In life sciences, confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) is widely regarded for producing high-resolution cellular images. However, it requires fluorescent staining, which poses risks of ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...
