For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

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 more ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

Researchers have developed a method for mapping the orientation and organization of tissue fibers, furthering our ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

Engineers have improved the speed and throughput of Brillouin microscopy 1000-fold. A novel approach for Brillouin microscopy, developed by engineers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL ...
