A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

The M25 microscope, which can operate in fluorescence and transmitted light modes, can be used to watch the swimming of entire C. elegans worms, a model organism used to study development, ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

How does a stripy tree snail hide from hungry birds? The Hypselostyla camelopardalis from the Philippines and Reinia ...

The big picture: When retro tech obsessive Shelby Jueden pointed a low-cost digital microscope at a decades-old LaserDisc, he didn't just see reflections of light – he uncovered the physical trace of ...

A chemistry student has won a photo award for a striking image revealing a world most never see: the beauty of scientific ...
