Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Early diagnosis and noninvasive monitoring of neurological disorders require sensitivity to elusive cellular-level ...

Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) ceremonially commissioned a state-of-the-art cryo plasma-FIB scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator worth more than 5 million euros on Thursday. The ...

Nearly a century ago, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll provided the first demonstration of a microscope that could image specimens using electrons rather than light. The earliest images obtained via this ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Researchers use cryo-EM and optical tweezers to investigate how an antiviral interacts with the herpes simplex virus.

Some serious brain disorders begin with symptoms that are easy to misinterpret. A person may become confused, forgetful or ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. To ensure that the tissue ...

X-ray tomography is a powerful tool that enables scientists and engineers to peer inside of objects in 3D, including computer ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have uncovered a surprising new way to influence brain activity by targeting a long-mysterious class of proteins linked to anxiety, schizophrenia, and movement disorders.

Brookhaven researchers combine AI and physics to improve 3D X-ray tomography for nanoscale imaging. Read more.

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness.
