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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

Biochemists typically use fluorescent molecules to label cells. They then use a laser to excite the molecule before it spits ...
