A new imaging technique creates microscopic three-dimensional views of tissues within a patient’s body and can update those images several times a second. The technology could be a boon for guided ...

The microscopic world of cells and bacteria is incredibly important to understand, but tricky to study in detail, especially without harming the subjects. Researchers at EPFL have now developed a new ...

Researchers have developed a spectroscopic microscope to enable optical measurements of molecular conformations and orientations in biological samples. The novel measurement technique allows ...

What if you could reach through a microscope to touch and feel the microscopic structures under the lens? In a breakthrough that may usher in a new era in the exploration of the worlds that are a ...

With the development of an innovative 3D super-resolution microscopic method, a better understanding of previously unresolved environments is now possible. Researchers have been able to image entire ...

The complexity of biology can befuddle even the most sophisticated light microscopes. Biological samples bend light in unpredictable ways, returning difficult-to-interpret information to the ...

Scientists put forward a simple new way of counting microscopic particles in optical materials. A laser beam passing through such a material splits and forms a pattern of numerous bright spots on a ...
