This study presents MPALM, a novel microscopy technique that captures nanoscale biomolecular dynamics, overcoming limitations ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

A magneto-optical microscopy platform developed by the University of Cambridge and Kenya's Kirinyaga University enables ...

The demand for disposable miniature imaging platforms (DMIPs) is growing rapidly. Used for commercial, scientific, medical, and educational purposes, DMIPs have numerous applications but can be ...

Using light to measure ever-smaller objects has been central to progress in many scientific disciplines for centuries. As far back as 1873, German physicist Ernst Abbe proved that light diffraction ...

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 ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy method that uses a magnetic field and polarized light to provide quantitative measurements that could enable faster and more objective detection of malaria ...

Anyone who has ever used a microscope knows that it takes time to bring a sample into sharp focus. Each time you move the ...

In this article, we look at some of the key developments of various microscopy techniques over the last few years and how they have benefitted different areas of research and development. The impact ...
