Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

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 ...

At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

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 ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far from still. By squeezing terahertz light down to microscopic scales, a ...

They can make tiny cell structures visible: cutting-edge light microscopes offer resolutions of a few tenths of a nanometer -- in other words, a millionth of a millimeter. Until now, super-resolution ...
