Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
