A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

There are many types of microscopy, each providing a unique set of benefits. Light microscopy of cells that express fluorescently labelled molecules, for example, lets scientists observe the movements ...

Imaging with better than 200-nanometer resolution brings new subcellular-scale details into focus. Practitioners share how they weigh trade-offs in speed, resolution and phototoxicity. You have full ...

Microscopes are of three basic types: optical, electron (or ion), and scanning probe. The modern optical or light microscope was developed in the mid-19th century. Optical microscopes use transparent ...

Dublin, Jan. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Microscopy: Global Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Global Microscopy Market was valued at USD 9.7 Billion in 2024 ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

Led by Nobel laureate Roger Tsien, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and UCSD professor of pharmacology, chemistry and biochemistry, a team of scientists radically re-engineered a ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

Nowadays, MPPs can be ubiquitously detected around the globe in aquatic environments. Rivers, arctic ice, lakes, oceans, tap water and bottled water are all contaminated with microplastic particles.
