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 ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of the most significant developments in optics. Due to the wave nature of light ...

A research team from HKU Engineering has pioneered a fundamentally new imaging strategy known as AIMED (Arbitrary illumination microscopy with encoded depth), which utilizes a sub-sampling approach.

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

Light microscopy is a cornerstone in life sciences technology, having experienced considerable diversification since its inception. This development becomes visible when considering the distinctive ...

Stanford University researchers have built a microscope capable of imaging nanostructures inside living cells ...

Combining holographic imaging with ultrafast spectroscopy enables observing short-lived electronic and magnetic phenomena key ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Analyzing the response of cells to heat shock is an established way to study the behavior of cells in changing conditions, and understand their natural survival mechanisms. A project at the University ...

From the advent of optical microscopes to today, light microscopy methods have been central to life science discoveries across disciplines. Scientists turn to light microscopy when imaging cells, ...
