A research team at the University of Tokyo has built a fluorescence microscopy system that can detect fleeting magnetic reactions inside living biological material, reactions that conventional imaging ...

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 ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

How many photons are in a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)? More than you may have thought. The illumination required to excite fluorophores leads to their gradual photodegradation, a phenomenon known ...

In recent years, fluorescence quenching microscopy (FQM) 1-3 has emerged as a viable technique that allows for the swift, cost-effective, and accurate imaging of two-dimensional (2D) materials like ...
