To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Researchers at the Institute of Electron Microscopy and Nanoanalysis (FELMI-ZFE) at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) ...

The first line of treatment for cancer is, whenever possible, to remove the cancerous tissue from the body. Though often ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples.

The key to understanding the drivers of physical and neurological disease lies in part with understanding the microscopic ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Acoustic microscopy and impedance analysis have emerged as pivotal tools in the non‐invasive investigation of biological tissues. By utilising high-frequency sound waves, these techniques deliver ...

The researchers demonstrated the utility of their technique on a slice of a mouse brain, 200 microns (0.2 millimeters) in thickness. First, they made their tissue sample see-through using a tweaked ...
