Is it possible to know exactly where to point a microscope in order to capture the precise moment a bacterium or a virus infects a cell? In order to take high resolution microscopic images of living ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase on the virus’s surface and sialic acid on the cell membrane, which trigger ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

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 ...

In this webinar, Dr. Denis Vasyukov demonstrates how scanning microwave microscopy works and how this type of measurement is performed on nanosurf instruments. The webinar is intended for both novice ...

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 ...

The microscope is an iconic symbol of the life sciences – and for good reason. From the discovery of the existence of cells to the structure of DNA, microscopy has been a quintessential tool of the ...
