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

Visualizing subcellular structures deep inside the brains of living animals could improve our understanding of how neurons function in their native environment. Thanks to an improved super-resolution ...

Scientists have developed a new microscope that can image living things in 3D, ten to 100 times faster than existing technologies. The system could be used to capture remarkable details, such as ...

Mice are the mainstay of modern biomedical research, but the ability to image their brain cells while they're scampering around is no easy task. Scientists at Stanford University have created a ...

Microscopes have existed for over 350 years but the latest development would not be recognisable to the pioneers of studying the smallest scales. A team from Rice University in Houston, Texas, which ...

The laser in a tiny but powerful microscope is giving neuroscientists their best look yet at how the brains of rats work as they scurry about their daily activities. Until now, the ability of ...
