Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of the most detailed views of life ever recorded. Day and night, they collect ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish feats that neither could have done on its own. The microscope combines ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Biohub and UC Berkeley show that the laser phase plate, a revolutionary device with a laser 100 million times brighter than the Sun, dramatically improves images obtained through cryo-electron ...

Immune cells fight infectious intruders, for example, or search for incipient cancers. Therefore, they are constantly migrating through the tissues of our body. But in the wrong place, immune cells ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Google has created a prototype AI-powered microscope that is designed to assist doctors in locating potentially cancerous cells and other pathogens. The ...
