A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

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 ...

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of Biomedical ...

EPFL spin-off Nanolive has developed a microscope that lets scientists look inside live cells – a feature they say is particularly useful for new drug discovery. Founded by CEO Yann Cotte in 2013, the ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

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 ...

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 from the Universities of Göttingen and ...
