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

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

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 ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

Using machine learning to guide microscopes could reveal greater insights into the brain's connectome and deepen our ...
