Now, a team from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have demonstrated a process called X-ray nanotomography, that can instantly obtain 3D images of cells in their almost natural state. SUBSCRIBE LOG IN ...

For roughly 400 years, microscopes have allowed us to observe increasingly smaller details. Today's most advanced instruments ...

Under a traditional, light-based microscope, it’s impossible to image something smaller than the wavelength of light that the microscope uses, which is around 250 nanometers, explains Brian ...

Light microscope images of E. coli cells in transmitted light (left) and reflected light that picks up the red fluorescence of a dye staining the cells' DNA (right). In normal cells (upper panel ...

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 ...

Slide 1 of 6, Investigating cells with a light microscope, Rotate Rotate the objective lenses so that the low power, eg x10, is in line with the stage. End of image gallery Risks ...

For example, using green light with a wavelength of 550 nm and an objective with a typical NA of 0.7, a standard light microscope can resolve features down to a limit of 0.61 × (550 nm)/0.7 ≈ 480 nm, ...

UT Southwestern's innovative microscope integrates high and low-resolution imaging, ... These probes emit light in response, ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...
