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

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

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

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 ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

Using a "spooky" phenomenon of quantum physics, researchers have discovered a way to double the resolution of light microscopes. Using a "spooky" phenomenon of quantum physics, Caltech researchers ...

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a leading provider of innovative wearable computing technologies and solutions, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary ...

A group of scientists from Nagoya University in Japan used a novel combination of technologies to investigate the principles of light–matter interaction in nanomaterials at the lowest and fastest ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

The earliest example of a stereo microscope was designed and built-in 1671 by Cherubin d’Orleans, though it was a pseudostereoscopic design, which had major flaws. Only by application of additional ...
