Confocal microscopy images showing live/dead staining of 3D cell constructs. The top row shows a fresh spheroid. The middle row shows the outcome of conventional cryopreservation and the bottom row ...

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 ...

Confocal microscopy images of tobacco leaves showing the relative abundance of oleosin protein. The most successful variant (far right) resulted in significantly greater oleosin abundance (green ...

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

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

Scientists use confocal microscopy to study intracellular organization, structures, and dynamics in 3D. Selecting a microscope platform for a research project can be challenging because different ...

The development of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) visual display technologies harnesses the properties of two key techniques: photoluminescence and electroluminescence. Confocal microscopy can be ...
