Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

As viewers of the Showtime series “Dexter” are well aware, everyone’s favorite serial killer has a ritual whereby he saves a drop of blood from each of his victims on a microscope slide. Now fans can ...

When we look at biological cells under a microscope, they’re usually not very colourful. Normally, to visualise them we have to artificially add colour — typically by staining. By doing so, we can see ...

Researchers at the University of California are working on a technology that is able to enhance the resolution of a standard light microscope, allowing it to directly view finer structures and details ...

Maybe it expressed a sergeant’s snark toward the officer corps. Or a budding scientist’s thrill at a big find. Either way, the hand-lettered label that future Bates professor William H. Sawyer Jr.

Pathologists often use tissue samples and microscopy to help diagnose diseases like cancer. But distinguishing different cells often require several stages of staining. Now researchers are presenting ...

Jenny Graves receives funding from the Australian Research Council. If you look at cells from a human or other mammal under a microscope, you’ll see big fat molecular complexes called chromosomes that ...
