Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), ...

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

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

Optical microscopy is a key technique for understanding dynamic biological processes in cells, but observing these high-speed cellular dynamics accurately, at high spatial resolution, has long been a ...

The virus is then pinched off into a vesicle and carried deeper into the cell, toward the nucleus. This new microscopy technique could also help shape future medicines. Researchers can use it to test ...
