Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

In a landmark achievement in biological imaging, researchers at Biohub and the University of California, Berkeley today ...

A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes ...

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

A mouse’s heart beats roughly 600 times each minute. With every beat, blood pumping through vessels jiggles the brain and other organs. That motion doesn’t trouble the mouse, but it does pose a ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

Whether inspecting semiconductor wafers, measuring optical components, or imaging biological samples, the quality of the data ...

Labroots is thrilled to announce that registration is open for the 7th Annual Event in the Cell Biology Virtual Event Series, which will be held on September 20, 2023. This exciting event is free to ...

The light microscope was first developed and famously used in the late 1600s by the Dutch naturalist, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, to look at small pond creatures he called "animalcules." Observations ...
