Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

Light microscopy is used to make small structures and samples visible by providing a magnified image of how they interact with visible light, e.g., their absorption, reflection and scattering. This is ...

Scientists can now use super-resolution microscopy to directly observe living subcellular structures and activities. In this piece, we explore the basics of three popular super-resolution techniques.

The Wolfson Bioimaging Facility offers a few ways to achieve fluorescence imaging below the 200nm resolution limit of conventional light microscopes. Although broadly termed ‘super-resolution’, these ...

To prepare a microscope slide of cheek cells, stain them and examine them using a light microscope. When scientists use a microscope to look at cells they often produce a scientific drawing of what ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

State-of-the-art microscopy is a vital tool in understanding the critical mechanisms of cell growth and division. We provide the latest in live cell imaging technology, enabling scientists at The ...
