The invention that first enabled researchers to see clear images of living cells was the phase-contrast microscope, which won its inventor, Frits Zernike, a Nobel Prize in 1932. Prior to Zernike's ...

A cryogen-free optical-coupled scanning probe microscope based on remote helium liquefaction has enabled months-long ...

A recent study has examined a label-free microscopy technique, interferometric image scanning microscopy (iISM), which is designed to deliver high resolution and contrast in live cells with ...

Sulfanilamide is best known as a treatment for yeast infections, but as it turns out, it dazzles under a microscope. Just ask José Manuel Martínez López, a microscopy specialist at the instrumentation ...

The Thermo Scientific Talos F200C TEM is a 20-200 kV thermionic (scanning) transmission electron microscope that has been specifically designed to ensure performance and productivity across a wide ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Prof. ZHANG Douguo have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field ...
