Maybe you remember “the cell” from your high school biology book? A smooth, brownish blob, cut away to show the supposedly neat and orderly components, arranged just so. It was an uncomplicated look ...

Scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory and colleagues have unveiled a new microscope that can track the position and orientation of individual molecules in living cells—nanoscale measurements ...

The modern microscope is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to detecting disease, but typically the biological material being studied needs to be stained or dyed to reveal its secrets. This can ...

Imagine a microscope implanted into your body that could automatically sort out cancerous cells based on how they looked. That's the long-term promise of a lensless microscope that Caltech researchers ...

German researchers have developed a microscope that depicts cells in never-before-seen detail. Not only does the microscope have a 100 nanometer resolution, up from the 200 to 300 nanometer focus of ...
