A tiny head-mounted microscope lets researchers watch and activate individual brain cells while mice move freely.

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of the most detailed views of life ever recorded. Day and night, they collect ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a miniature microscope that allows scientists to observe and activate individual brain cells ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish feats that neither could have done on its own. The microscope combines ...

An international team of researchers found that iron limitation, through its effects on growth and trace metal usage of the microalgae that live within coral cells, could exacerbate the effects of ...
