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 ...

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

This story originally featured on Popular Science. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists invented the first electron microscope, has taken yet another step. “This is the ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

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 ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...
