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 ...

To study living organisms at ever smaller length scales, scientists must devise new techniques to overcome the so-called diffraction limit. This is the intrinsic limitation on a microscope's ability ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

The University of Wyoming will soon house one of the most advanced microscopes in the Mountain West, thanks to a nearly $1.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded to Eunsook ...

The Aplo Scope is a new single-molecule super-resolution microscope designed for molecular imaging. The microscope combines imaging, laser control, and what the company describes as intuitive software ...

In a study published in Science Advances, a team of bioengineering researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed an algorithm known as adaptive intersection maximization, or AIM ...

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- A new tool allows scientists to see the immune system like never before. The device, a stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscope, provides sharp images at extremely small ...
