Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

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

The neurotransmitter dopamine isn’t just beautiful under polarized light – it’s also a neurotransmitter that can get you high. Photographer Spike Walker just won an award for his breathtaking ...

At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...

They can make tiny cell structures visible: cutting-edge light microscopes offer resolutions of a few tenths of a nanometer -- in other words, a millionth of a millimeter. Until now, super-resolution ...

The world's most advanced light microscopes allow us to see single molecules, proteins, viruses and other very small biological structures. But even the best microscopes have their limits. Colorado ...

“Think small” was Walter C. McCrone’s sly motto. Sly, because he was a giant in a very small world. His world was chemical microscopy, which uses microscopical methods to solve problems, such as ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 34, No. 10 (Dec., 1947), pp. 545-550 (6 pages) The isolated spinach chloroplast, as studied with the electron microscope, contains some forty to sixty bodies, the ...
