Light microscope images of E. coli cells in transmitted light (left) and reflected light that picks up the red fluorescence of a dye staining the cells' DNA (right). In normal cells (upper panel), the ...

The Nikon Small World competition recognizes the art and science of microscope photography, or "microscopy." Scientists, artists, and enthusiasts from all over the world submit their painstakingly ...

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

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

Which compound or stereo microscope is better? Take a closer look at your surroundings and get a brand-new perspective of the world with the aid of the right microscope. When it comes down to it, they ...

After years of development, researchers have managed to shrink two-photon microscopy into a device that can be mounted on rodents’ heads without impeding behaviour. As Weijian Zong stared at a ...

This picture is composed of 4,225 scanning electron microscope images. It shows a microchip based on 65-nanometre technology. This means that the smallest structure on the chip that can be reliably ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

Researchers have developed a new method for rapid 3D imaging. Instead of having to scan repeatedly in 2D, the researchers proposed a one-scan technique that uses a light needle to process at depth and ...
