It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

A new "self-driving" microscope developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers solves two fundamental challenges that have long plagued microscopy: first, imaging living cells or organisms at ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

descSPIM enables three-dimensional imaging of diverse tissues like neural cells and cancerous tumors. The widespread dissemination and adoption of descSPIM can accelerate biomedical discoveries. Three ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

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 Brandeis Light Microscopy facility provides instrumentation, training and support in the acquisition and analysis of data using state of the art imaging equipment. The facility was renovated in ...
