Fluorescence microscopy has undergone a renaissance in the last decade. The introduction of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and two-photon microscopy has allowed systematic imaging studies of ...

A supplement contextualizes key advances in light microscopy over 400 years, while the Tara expedition sets sail to explore oceanic ecosystems at the microscopic level. Microscopes were also in ...

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 ...

But it's possible to see things much smaller than that if we use magnification. There's three types of microscope: light, like this one here, and two types of electron microscopes, like those ones ...

This 3D-printed confocal laser scanning microscope is a good example of an instrument for measuring really small stuff. As [Zachary Tong] points out, confocal scanning microscopy uses a clever ...

For looking at really small stuff, an optical microscope will only go so far. Looking at things at the nanometer level, though, usually requires some sort of electron microscope, with all the ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a subset of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), a group of techniques that image and manipulate surfaces at the nanometer to atomic scales. SPM techniques share the ...

Pushing the limits of 'custom-made' microscopy Date: February 20, 2025 Source: European Molecular Biology Laboratory Summary: Scientists developed a new microscope based on Brillouin scattering ...
