The fluorescence-imaging technology in cells allows study the cellular mechanisms of the organelles with multiple imaging approaches. Different fluorescent proteins work as protein tags in detecting ...

A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

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

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

Comparing Microscopy Techniques: This image contrasts conventional fluorescent microscopy with STORM processing, highlighting how STORM achieves superior resolution by activating and precisely ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that enables simultaneous protein localisation and ultrastructural imaging in ...

Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...
