Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, the Fox lab from Duke University, U.S., and the Roeder lab from Cornell ...

Laboratory studies of lung tissue usually require the removal of large amounts of human or animal tissue. Now scientists from the University of Freiburg's Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in ...

Researchers developed a way to 'de-crowd' molecules in a cell by expanding a tissue sample, labeling the molecules, then imaging them. The method, known as expansion revealing, builds on a technique ...
