Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

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 ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

My son is obsessed with anything science-related, and now he wants to see cells (and other microscopic things). He's only 5, so holding his eye still over a simple optical microscope isn't going to ...

If you want to see cells in detail under a microscope, you probably think you need more powerful and expensive equipment. 'Expansion Microscopy' overturns that notion. By using absorbent materials ...

Cells In A New Light By combining the sensitivity of fluorescent dyes with optical systems that can detect colorful but low-intensity fluorescent light, researchers in many life sciences are able to ...

By combining high-resolution genomic data with AI, researchers are uncovering the regulatory logic plants use to sense and survive environmental stress.
