Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

A University of Arizona Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher received a $2.4 million National Cancer Institute grant to develop a noninvasive, confocal microscope to examine nerve endings of cancer ...

UIUC's platform, christened Stomata In-Sight, combines laser scanning confocal microscopy, gas exchange instruments and ...

Since the 1990s, Yokogawa has played a prominent role in the R&D of high-speed confocal microscopes for real-time imaging of living cells, and in 1996, launched its first product, the CSU10 confocal ...

A protein's function depends on its movement inside a cell and interactions with other proteins and biological structures. Biologists who want to watch proteins working in living cells frequently turn ...

Computational fluorescence microscopy (CFM) requires accurate point spread function (PSF) characterization for high-quality ...

In the mid-1950s, Princeton University researcher Marvin Minsky sought a way to increase signal-to-noise when imaging central nervous system samples. Because CNS tissue is very dense and scatters ...

Optical Profilometry employs light to measure surface contours and roughness by analyzing the interaction between light waves and the surface under examination. It utilizes various principles such as ...
