We can see objects as small as 0.1 millimeters, and that means we can just about see these lice eggs in our hair and tiny single-celled organisms like amoeba. But it's possible to see things much ...

The Department of Biology at Saint Louis University offers a Leica SP8 confocal microscope with resonant scanner for academic and commercial use. Live-cell imaging can be performed using a stage ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced ...

For centuries, biological imaging was myopic; visualization stopped at about 10 μm of tissue depth. Detailed observation of tissue came with a death sentence for the tissue (fixation) so that it could ...

The device reveals how microscopic pores on leaves, known as stomata, manage the exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapour. A team of scientists has created a microscopic engine made from a ...

A research team at the University of Tokyo has built a fluorescence microscopy system that can detect fleeting magnetic ...

Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...
