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

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.

A Simple Touchscreen Fluorescence Cell Imager Improves Workflow for Routine Applications Whether it’s for gaining a better understanding of how cells work, studying the effects of drugs or toxins on ...

Pushing the MINFLUX technique to higher spatial and temporal precision allows protein dynamics to be observed under physiological conditions. Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max ...

Imagine you're a PhD student with a fluorescent microscope and a sample of live bacteria. What's the best way use these resources to obtain detailed observations of bacterial division from the sample?

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 ...

A synchrotron is a circular particle accelerator. Charged particles (electrons) are accelerated through many magnets in the device until they exceed the speed of light. These particles produce a ...

The spatial distribution of cell surface proteins, which governs vital processes of the immune system such as inter-cell communication and mobility, has proven difficult to assess. New tools are ...

Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) possess unique characteristics, including high biological compatibility, infinite photostability, the absence of photoblinking, a long fluorescence lifetime (>10 ns), ...
