Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Researchers have reported a sample-prior-based approach to point spread function decoupling that improves system ...

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 ...

UC Davis researchers Gant Luxton, Daniel Starr and Xiangyi Ding have used tiny fluorescent particles to study what is going on inside the cells of Caenorhabditis worms. They found that the cells are ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

After it fills with cargo, the pit pinches off to form a clathrin-coated, membrane-bound vesicle inside the cell, which then proceeds to its proper destination. In cultured cells, hundreds of these ...

Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) possess unique characteristics, including high biological compatibility, infinite photostability, the absence of photoblinking, a long fluorescence lifetime (>10 ns), ...
