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

The modern microscope is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to detecting disease, but typically the biological material being studied needs to be stained or dyed to reveal its secrets. This can ...

Following its successful predecessor ZEISS Axio Scan.Z1, ZEISS Axioscan 7 provides significant improvements in almost every aspect: a new acquisition engine for higher scan speeds, a broader range of ...

Wesley R. Coe, professor of zoology at Yale during the early 20th century, devoted his career to studying ribbon worms — a group of mostly marine-dwelling creatures that includes more than 1,000 known ...

The international team, led by UCL, the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), Barcelona, and the University of Copenhagen, analyzed microscopy slides from the 1940s that were obtained with ...

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

Researchers at the University of California are working on a technology that is able to enhance the resolution of a standard light microscope, allowing it to directly view finer structures and details ...

Sample preparation will vary depending on the sample, imaging mode, and size of desired images. You will likely need to do a literature search to find the preparation best for your sample. Smaller ...
