Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN senior editor Laurel Oldach about a laser phase ...

During image analysis, researchers use light sheet microscopy of cleared tissue as a preferred method for high throughput volumetric imaging. A flexible system can provide a range of sizes, resolution ...

Advances in the ability to image cells and tissues have driven progress in cell and developmental biology, among other fields. Current developments in light microscopy research include volumetric and ...

Key to understanding something like epilepsy is to be able to record highly transient events in biological tissues. Generally ...

Hosts of new applications have turned the light microscope into an exquisitely sensitive measuring device that can be used to image dynamic cellular events right down to the molecular level. Indeed, ...

In biology, seeing can lead to understanding, and researchers in Professor Edward Boyden's lab at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research are committed to bringing life into sharper focus. With a ...

Seizures can race through the brain in seconds, making them difficult to capture in detail. To overcome this challenge, ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

Take a close look at a rare quartz crystal and uncover its hidden details through UV light and microscopy. #Microscope ...
