There's a limit to what you can learn about cells from 2D pictures, but creating 3D images is a time-intensive process. Now, scientists from UT Southwestern have developed a new "simple and ...

Conventional microscopes provide essential information about samples in two dimensions—the plane of the microscope slide. But flat is not all that. In many instances, information about the object in ...

Fluorescence microscopy (FM) allows researchers to identify specific molecules and study their biological roles. However, because a large fraction of molecules remain unlabeled and therefore 'in the ...

The first of two advanced microscopes has been installed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. TEAM 0.5 is the world's most powerful transmission electron microscope and is capable of producing ...

A clear view of anatomical structures is vital for the success of surgery--especially in microsurgery where narrow anatomical cavities or proximity to vulnerable organs and tissues can pose ...

Confocal microscopy is an optical sectioning technique that utilizes fluorescence to generate a high resolution / high contrast image compared to traditional epifluorescence. These systems use a laser ...
