Researchers at MIT and the Broad Institute have developed a new variant of super-resolution microscopy that should offer new ...

On the heels of his OWI arrest in Wisconsin last week, CBS NFL color commentator Tony Romo is under a microscope and many people believe his conduct could result in the network giving him the boot.

A laser (purple) is powerfully amplified by highly polished mirrors and focused on the electron beam (blue) to shift its phase and increase the cryo-EM microscope’s contrast, allowing biologists to ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

What is beam current? Beam current is a measurement of the number of electrons in the electron beam. In an SEM, beam current has three major impacts on your image: signal to noise (S/N), charging, and ...

In this important study, the authors engineered and characterised novel genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) and an analytical tool (CaFire) capable of reporting and quantifying various ...

From the limits of matter to the origins of heavy elements, GRETA is ready to explore the nuclear unknown.Marilyn Sargent/Berkeley Lab Researchers have completed the major construction of the ...

Scientists at the University of Strathclyde have created the world's first fully 3D printed microscope in under three hours and for less than £50—a fraction of the cost of traditional devices. Using a ...

In a truly futuristic feat, researchers from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, have built a 3D-printed microscope in under three hours, costing a total of around $60 / £50 / AU$95 – ...
