Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.
Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...
A newly developed imaging technique has enabled scientists to map microscopic fiber networks in the brain, muscles, and bones ...
Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...
What is Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy? Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) is a non-contact scanning probe microscopy technique that enables high-resolution imaging of living cells and ...
In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon – when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging ...
