Atomic-resolution differential phase-contrast imaging using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy now provides a sensitive probe of the electric field associated with ...

A phenomenon dubbed by Einstein as “spooky” might lead to very real benefits for biologists, thanks to new research by physicists in Japan. They have improved the signal-to-noise ratio of a ...

The use of high-resolution bright-field microscopy is essential for cellular-scale biological research, but this technique has limitations due to low image contrast. Using dyes on the sample can ...

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Vol. 121, No. 881 (July 2009), pp. 716-727 (12 pages) ABSTRACT.We discuss the results of a multiwavelength differential imaging lab experiment ...

The capabilities of the shared microscopy facility include brightfield, phase contrast, and both 2-D and 3-D fluorescence imaging. The OLYMPUS BX51 research microscope is a union of Olympus infinity ...

A double event, supported as part of the Royal Society scientific meetings, was organized in February 2013 in London and at Chicheley Hall in Buckinghamshire by Dr A. Olivo and Prof. I. Robinson. The ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured reporting about current events through a science lens. The new microscope uses a 405 nm laser—the same wavelength ...

Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf led by Prof. Dr. Carsten Sachse are using cryo-electron microscopy, or cryo-EM for short, to make biomolecules visible ...
