Confocal microscopy is a powerful and versatile technique for studying biological phenomena on scales ranging from tissue-level structures to subcellular details. Conducting microscopy experiments ...
To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...
Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.
Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...
A decade ago, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a trio of researchers for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. The announcement at the time stated that the researchers’ ...
Scientists use confocal microscopy to study intracellular organization, structures, and dynamics in 3D. Selecting a microscope platform for a research project can be challenging because different ...
Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...
Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...
