Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

In a landmark achievement in biological imaging, researchers at Biohub and the University of California, Berkeley today ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

Figure | Working principle of Interferometric Image Scanning Microscopy (iISM). (a) Schematic of the iISM microscope and interferometric PSF detection. (b) iISM with adaptive pixel-reassignment (APR) ...

Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the inner workings of living cells in real time. The process both captures images ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...
