For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...
A tiny roundworm has helped University of Queensland scientists uncover minuscule structures in skin tissue that may protect ...
Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical components capable of super-resolution imaging. Each custom lens costs less than $1 ...
One method for visualizing dynamic biological processes is single particle tracking, a localization microscopy method. For this technique to be successful, several factors need to be considered, ...
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 ...
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 ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...
Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
