Imaging live cells without disrupting their natural behavior or damaging their structures is one key challenge in biomedical optics, and has been tackled in multiple ways. A project at NIST has now ...

Researchers developed a large-scale, dynamic imaging technique using mesoscopic oblique plane microscopy, which can capture 3D images of entire organisms and maintain cellular resolution. A new ...

Researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Salk Institute have developed VIS-Fb probes, a new class of fluorescent nanobodies that light up only when bound to target proteins, ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

The study of biological systems varies from whole organisms, organs, and organoids, down to their building blocks of proteins and cells. At the lower end of the scale, atomic force microscope (AFM) ...

Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected mechanism that links age-related stress to the decline of blood-forming stem cells.

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...
