Every schoolkid has peered into a microscope and been awed by the hidden world of skin cells and squiggly bacteria. But microscopes are also critical tools for investigating the causes of disease and ...

When I was younger, I spent a lot of time collecting things around the house and using a microscope to examine them. While I had a lot of fun examining things, the one thing that was lacking was the ...

The Department of Biology at Saint Louis University offers a Leica SP8 confocal microscope with resonant scanner for academic and commercial use. Live-cell imaging can be performed using a stage ...

To observe living cells through a microscope, a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide. It then lies there calmly and the cells are observable. The disadvantage is that this limits how the ...

The development of new forms of transmission electron microscopes that combine the features of both transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes will fuel the growth of the ...

Stanford scientists have developed a revolutionary microscope that reveals the hidden inner workings of living cells in real time, without the fluorescent labels that can interfere with observations.

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

Conventional microscopes provide essential information about samples in two dimensions—the plane of the microscope slide. But flat is not all that. In many instances, information about the object in ...

Using a microscope during root canal treatment may improve outcomes and aid in handling complex cases with a more favorable prognosis, according to a study recently published in the Journal of ...

Miniature microscopes attached to the heads of living mice have enabled researchers to gain important insights about the neuronal pathways behind complex behaviors. Now, researchers report a new ...
