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

What is Particle Analysis? Particle analysis involves taking a sample of a substance and analyzing the individual particles the sample is composed of. The first form of particle analysis was ...

Researchers have developed a high-speed 3D imaging microscope that can capture detailed cell dynamics of an entire small whole organism at once. The ability to image 3D changes in real time over a ...

Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy is a super-resolution imaging technique that overcomes the diffraction limit of conventional optical microscopy. It enables the visualization of ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

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 ...

Metalenses represent a revolutionary advancement in optical technology. Unlike conventional microscope objectives that rely on curved glass surfaces, metalenses employ nanoscale structures to ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

Bruker Corporation announced the launch of the LUMOS™ II ILIM , a quantum cascade laser (QCL) based infrared imaging microscope. The new LUMOS II ILIM redefines performance standards, enabling pharma ...

The alpha300 Semiconductor Edition is a sophisticated confocal Raman microscope designed for the chemical analysis of semiconducting materials. This advanced tool helps researchers quickly analyze ...
