A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes ...

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ultrabright laser. Back then, a laser so bright didn’t exist. Now it does, and ...

Modern fluorescence microscopy can generate images of living cells as stunning to look at as they are informative to study. For techniques like fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), those ...

The Department of Defense has teamed up with Google to build an AI-powered microscope that can help doctors identify cancer. The tool is called an Augmented Reality Microscope, and it will usually ...

Researchers identified some 3,300 types of brain cells, an order of magnitude more than was previously known, and have only a dim notion of what most of them do. By Carl Zimmer An international team ...
