Cells rely on a network of tiny filaments to give them form and support their structure. One crucial filament is a protein called actin. Researchers have now devised a new way to monitor the movements ...

Cryogenic microscopy at Diamond Light Source enables high-resolution, correlative imaging of cells under near-physiological ...

Scientists have developed a tool for using gene expression to get an image of a cell, called DNA microscopy. The technique requires some simple methods as well as genetic sequencing and an algorithm.

Combining image analysis with a three-dimensional microscopy technique allows researchers to quantify new or little-understood cell biology phenomena, according to a new study publishing December 19 ...

In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek began investigating the world of the very small using the first microscope, discovering a riotous world of protists, bacteria, and other ...

NEW YORK & TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC), a global leading institute in structural biology, and Syncell, a life science tools company pioneering the ...

One look through something called a confocal microscope was all it took for William Sunderland to make a drastic change in his career plans. A math student with what appeared to be a bright future in ...

What if a microscope allowed us to explore the 3D microcosm of blood vessels, nerves, and cancer cells instantaneously in virtual reality? What if it could provide views from multiple directions in ...

Nic Fleming is a science writer based in Bristol, UK. Scientists are understandably wary of the word ‘revolution’. Major breakthroughs that shake the foundations of established thinking are rare ...

Researchers are carrying the field of microscopy a step further, refining a technique known as cryogenic electron microscopy, or cryo-EM. In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek ...
