Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of the most significant developments in optics. Due to the wave nature of light ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy has transformed our ability to visualise biological structures at the nanoscale by breaking the classical diffraction barrier of light. Traditional optical ...

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 ...

In blood cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B cells of the immune system multiply uncontrollably. One form of therapy involves labeling the CD20 protein on the surface of the B cells with ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

There is a growing demand for non-invasive insights into the complex three-dimensional subcellular dynamics within living tissues on the frontier of biological research. To achieve simultaneous ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...
