For nearly a century, the gold standard for closing severe burn wounds has been split-thickness skin grafts. Surgeons remove ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of the most detailed views of life ever recorded. Day and night, they collect ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

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 ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

Bioluminescence is an attractive alternative to fluorescence for live-cell imaging; however, its low intensity has prevented widespread adoption. Specialized microscopes compensate by sacrificing ...
