Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

Powerful new quantitative approaches to developmental biology have emerged that aim at understanding morphogenesis, developmental genetics and their relationship system-wide 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. It is ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 34, No. 10 (Dec., 1947), pp. 545-550 (6 pages) The isolated spinach chloroplast, as studied with the electron microscope, contains some forty to sixty bodies, the ...

Australian researchers have demonstrated a quantum microscope that can break through a fundamental barrier faced by regular microscopes and see tiny structures that are normally invisible. The device ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

They can make tiny cell structures visible: cutting-edge light microscopes offer resolutions of a few tenths of a nanometer -- in other words, a millionth of a millimeter. Until now, super-resolution ...
