Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

Advances in the ability to image cells and tissues have driven progress in cell and developmental biology, among other fields. Current developments in light microscopy research include volumetric and ...

Biochemists typically use fluorescent molecules to label cells. They then use a laser to excite the molecule before it spits ...

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 ...

Cancer drugs are often designed to block specific molecular targets, but what happens after they enter a cell is not always ...

In biology, seeing can lead to understanding, and researchers in Professor Edward Boyden's lab at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research are committed to bringing life into sharper focus. With a ...

The P-733 flexure-guided stage offers wear-free motion, fast response and a clear aperture for transmitted-light microscopy.

Light microscopy is a cornerstone in life sciences technology, having experienced considerable diversification since its inception. This development becomes visible when considering the distinctive ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Researchers at UC Davis have developed a fast and cost-effective two-photon microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain ...

From the advent of optical microscopes to today, light microscopy methods have been central to life science discoveries across disciplines. Scientists turn to light microscopy when imaging cells, ...
