Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

The fluorescence-imaging technology in cells allows study the cellular mechanisms of the organelles with multiple imaging approaches. Different fluorescent proteins work as protein tags in detecting ...

In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley, campus, two bespoke microscopes—each a Swiss Army ...

In life sciences, confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) is widely regarded for producing high-resolution cellular images. However, it requires fluorescent staining, which poses risks of ...

What is Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy? Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that enables the visualization and quantification of the elemental ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Deblurring by pixel reassignment remaps raw fluorescent microscopy images to sharpen images via pixel reassignment. Credit: Zhao and Mertz, doi 10.1117/1.AP.5.6.066004. Obtaining high-resolution ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...
