Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

Using a "spooky" phenomenon of quantum physics, Caltech researchers have discovered a way to double the resolution of light microscopes. In a paper appearing in the journal Nature Communications, a ...

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 ...

The invention that first enabled researchers to see clear images of living cells was the phase-contrast microscope, which won its inventor, Frits Zernike, a Nobel Prize in 1932. Prior to Zernike's ...

Every schoolkid has peered into a microscope and been awed by the hidden world of skin cells and squiggly bacteria. But microscopes are also critical tools for investigating the causes of disease and ...
