Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

A new microscopy method enables researchers to visualize the activity of the enzymes caspase-3 and alkaline phosphatase in various biological samples (Nat. Methods 2024, DOI: ...

Chemists discover how key contrast agent works, paving a way to create new markers needed for correlative microscopy that can image the structure and signaling of cells at the same time. Two labs at ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...

Scientists developed a new microscope based on Brillouin scattering -- a phenomenon where light interacts with naturally occurring thermal vibrations within materials, from which their mechanical ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...

By applying the Kerr effect, Kerr microscopy facilitates the analysis of magnetic domains in steel alloys, supporting ...
