A new microscope invented by scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus will let researchers use an exquisitely thin sheet of light -- similar to that used in ...

Maybe you remember “the cell” from your high school biology book? A smooth, brownish blob, cut away to show the supposedly neat and orderly components, arranged just so. It was an uncomplicated look ...

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 ...
