Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

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 ...

"New microscopy techniques, particularly those involving fluorescence microscopy and the new fluorescent probes that are being developed, have made it possible for researchers to do many different ...

Analyzing the response of cells to heat shock is an established way to study the behavior of cells in changing conditions, and understand their natural survival mechanisms. A project at the University ...
