Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

From paints and inks to catalysts and drug-delivery materials, many advanced technologies rely on substances dispersed in ...

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ...

Recent years have witnessed great advances in applying deep learning to improve fluorescence microscopy imaging. However, enhancing the fidelity of image restoration networks and improving their ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

These images show the high resolution achieved with the new microscopy technique. A mouse brain cross-section as seen with photoacoustic imaging is shown in the upper left image, with two detailed ...

An international team led by the Max Born Institute has developed a new type of momentum microscopy to image magnons—the ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

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 ...

Inside a living cell, proteins and other molecules are often tightly packed together. These dense clusters can be difficult to image because the fluorescent labels used to make them visible can't ...

An extremely fast microscopy method to research the interaction of light and matter makes it possible to study optical ...
