What if you could reach through a microscope to touch and feel the microscopic structures under the lens? In a breakthrough that may usher in a new era in the exploration of the worlds that are a ...

Deep inside the brains of people with dementia and Lou Gehrig's disease, globs of abnormal protein gum up the inner workings of brain cells – dooming them to an early death.

Researchers have developed a spectroscopic microscope to enable optical measurements of molecular conformations and orientations in biological samples. The novel measurement technique allows ...

With the development of an innovative 3D super-resolution microscopic method, a better understanding of previously unresolved environments is now possible. Researchers have been able to image entire ...

The complexity of biology can befuddle even the most sophisticated light microscopes. Biological samples bend light in unpredictable ways, returning difficult-to-interpret information to the ...

Synapses are central in Alzheimer’s disease, but they are hard to study. The microscopic techniques that offer a glimpse at these tiny structures require expensive equipment and laborious ...

To assess the agreement of the ‘polygonal’ variable frame cell count option on a confocal microscope after keratoplasty, with planimetry as the reference method. One hundred clear corneal grafts of 83 ...
