Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...

Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the ...

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 ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Researchers have announced several major microscopy innovations that enhance resolution, sensitivity, and analytical capabilities for live biological imaging. Advances include AI-driven aberration ...
