A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Metalenses represent a revolutionary advancement in optical technology. Unlike conventional microscope objectives that rely on curved glass surfaces, metalenses employ nanoscale structures to ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

SIMIP enables high-resolution images rich in both chemical and spatial information. A quantum cascade laser (QCL) excites molecular vibrations while a spatial light modulator (SLM) generates striped ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the inner workings of living cells in real time. The process both captures images ...

In a study published in Science Advances, a team of bioengineering researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed an algorithm known as adaptive intersection maximization, or AIM ...
