The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, ...

A recent breakthrough is the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which learns how to manipulate atoms to improve a ...

In contrast, using fluorescent molecules as markers, one can specifically label individual proteins with high efficiency, rendering them visible with the conventional fluorescent microscope.

A basic light microscope that costs at least $100 could be a big amount for small labs in developing countries or impractical for use outside of the lab. Inspired by pencils and ballpoint pens, the ...

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

While the microscope didn’t have to be Olympus branded, images had to be taken using a light microscope or other devices featuring optical light technology.

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique ...

Other scientists have had little success using other techniques – which are too indirect or lack the necessary sensitivity -- to image magnetic spin at the atomic level.
