Many spine-bearing creatures, or vertebrates, have a curious bit of tissue deep in their brains called the pineal gland. It ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

A scientific experiment observing how white blood cells react under the microscope after exposure to food components, exploring cellular behavior in an educational and controlled way.

Abstract: Reconstruction of biological samples from microscopic images by solving inverse scattering problem poses significant computational challenges in real applications. We propose an efficient ...

A new microscope lets scientists observe both large structures and tiny particles inside living cells at the same time, without labels, offering a powerful new way to study cell processes, drugs, and ...
