Researchers have adapted a class of techniques employed in astronomy to unblur images of far-away galaxies for use in the life sciences, providing biologists with a faster and cheaper way to get ...

A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and ...

With the snap of a camera shutter — and a handy microscope — what was once small can become grand. Tap on the images below to enlarge A closeup peek at mouse brain tumor cells has won first place in ...

An example of a cell image before and after segmentation, a process which allows researchers to distinguish single cells from each other and their background. Manually finding and labeling the ...

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

A microscopic 'Christmas tree' is a seasonal look at a remarkable science project that found eerie comparisons between the ...
