Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

Imagine owning a camera so powerful it can take freeze-frame photographs of a moving electron—an object traveling so fast it could circle the Earth many times in a matter of a second. Researchers at ...

In 1931, electron microscopy took a major step forward. The first prototype electron microscope is generally dated to 1931, but Ruska later described the first electron microscope in the modern sense ...
