The use of high-resolution bright-field microscopy is essential for cellular-scale biological research, but this technique has limitations due to low image contrast. Using dyes on the sample can ...

Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future insight into ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

In biology, seeing can lead to understanding, and researchers in Professor Edward Boyden's lab at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research are committed to bringing life into sharper focus. With a ...

LMU researchers have developed a super-resolution microscopy method for the rapid differentiation of molecular structures in 3D. Super-resolution microscopy methods are essential for uncovering the ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

Researchers have developed a super-resolution microscopy method for the rapid differentiation of molecular structures in 3D. LMU researchers have developed a super-resolution microscopy method for the ...

Living organisms are complex systems with scales of organization spanning the range from Angstroms to meters. Even when consideration is limited to single cells and smaller, there is still a range of ...
