To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples.

You’ve probably seen images of scientists peering down a microscope, looking at objects invisible to the naked eye. Indeed, microscopes are indispensable to our understanding of life. They are just as ...

Imaging Modalities for Biological and Preclinical Research provides the first all-inclusive collection of imaging techniques used in biological and preclinical research. (Courtesy: IOP Publishing) ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

Encouraged by these results, Dudin, Dey, Guichard, and Hamel launched a close collaboration. Three years later, their work has produced near-encyclopedic insight into hundreds of protist species and ...

The light microscope was first developed and famously used in the late 1600s by the Dutch naturalist, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, to look at small pond creatures he called "animalcules." Observations ...

Researchers at Graz University of Technology found that ordinary espresso can replace toxic uranyl acetate for electron ...
