Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Understanding how living cells grow, respond to stimuli, and change over time is central to modern cell biology and drug discovery. Many traditional imaging approaches rely on fluorescent labels, ...

Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...

Fluorescent protein imaging is an indispensable tool in life science research, enabling visualization of protein movement and localization, gene expression, signaling pathways, protein-protein ...

In recent years, fluorescence quenching microscopy (FQM) 1-3 has emerged as a viable technique that allows for the swift, cost-effective, and accurate imaging of two-dimensional (2D) materials like ...

In a recent article published in Nature Communications, researchers introduced NanoPlex, a novel strategy designed to overcome limitations in fluorescence microscopy by utilizing engineered secondary ...

A new method published in Nature Methods removes much of the guesswork and time-consuming optimization from sample ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

Learn what matters when comparing benchtop fluorescence microscopes, from confocal and widefield imaging to software.

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...
