A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have built a microscope that can detect a signal over an intensity range 14 times ...

Cells have an internal skeleton that maintains their structure and also drives their movement. Known as the cytoskeleton, ...

Microscopy has advanced significantly over the centuries, but modern tools still face trade-offs. Quantitative phase ...

With machine learning methods and an advanced technique called lattice light sheet microscopy (LLSM), scientists have now revealed structures on the surface of B cells that influence how those immune ...

University of Tokyo researchers have created a powerful new microscope that captures both forward- and back-scattered light ...

BESSY II's high-brilliance X-rays can be used to produce microscopic images with spatial resolution down to a few tens of nanometers. Whole cell volumes can be examined without the need for complex ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the origin of life itself—this merger radically changed the ...
