The research is published Nov. 2 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The majority of our life is spent moving around a static world and we generate our impression of the world ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Researchers have developed a new microscope that offers a clearer view of the cellular world. The technology gives scientists an opportunity to watch in unprecedented detail how spinal nerve cells ...

Researchers have developed a novel robot microscope system that automatically tracks a freely moving small animal and manipulates its brain activity with 'projection mapping.' Researchers from Osaka ...

In a study published in Science Advances, a team of UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent particles inside ...

This release is available in German. Microscopes provide valuable insights in the structure and dynamics of cells, in particular when the latter remain in their natural environment. However, this is ...

You could probably find a few biologists who are diehard protein partisans, and others who love lipids, but if a genie granted them one wish for what they could see inside living cells, most would ...

For hundreds of years, images of cells have come from isolated specimens sitting on glass slides, removed from their intricate and subtle cellular universes within living organisms. Now, using a new ...

The scientists plan to use genetically encoded multimeric nanoparticles to investigate particle movement in more complex organisms.

LA JOLLA--(April 28, 2016) A microscope about the size of a penny is giving scientists a new window into the everyday activity of cells within the spinal cord. The innovative technology revealed that ...

For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...
