A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes.

One of the earliest iterations of the microscope was built in the 1600s by the microscopy pioneer Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. His work not only developed the field of microscopy but opened up the study ...

Microscopy has advanced significantly over the centuries, but modern tools still face trade-offs. Quantitative phase ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have built a microscope that can detect a signal over an intensity range 14 times ...

As a result, an ordinary light microscope using one of the slides is able to image much smaller objects than was previously possible. In tests conducted so far, the slide enabled such a microscope to ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

Engineers from the University of California San Diego have developed a new technology that lets ordinary microscopes see in higher resolution than previously possible. The new technology improves the ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...
