Plankton are the invisible engines of life on Earth, producing much of the planet's oxygen and forming the foundation of the ...

A pandemic-era breakthrough has allowed scientists to literally expand our view of plankton. By using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, researchers visualized the inner workings of hundreds of ...

Fluorescence nanoscopy (also known as super-resolution microscopy) methods have expanded optical imaging to reach the nanometre resolution range, typically 20–50 nm and even down to the 1 nm level.

A supplement contextualizes key advances in light microscopy over 400 years, while the Tara expedition sets sail to explore oceanic ecosystems at the microscopic level. Microscopes were also in the ...

In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek began investigating the world of the very small using the first microscope, discovering a riotous world of protists, bacteria, and other ...

Nonlinear optical microscopy enables intrinsic optical sectioning, label-free contrast, and deep-tissue imaging, and as such ...

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) advances biological discoveries by merging different microscopes and imaging modalities to study systems in 4D. Combining fluorescence microscopy with ...

An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle ...

Researchers are carrying the field of microscopy a step further, refining a technique known as cryogenic electron microscopy, or cryo-EM. In the late 1600s, the Dutch tradesman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek ...

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) enables biological discoveries by merging different microscopes and imaging modalities to study systems in 4D. Combining fluorescence microscopy with ...

Visualising cell behaviour has been the goal of many techniques developed in the 20th and 21st century. Cells were initially visualized after removing from the organism after death. However, real-time ...

From high-throughput robotics to cryogenic electron microscopes, the state-of-the-art imaging technologies housed at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) are world-class. One recent addition – a ...
