ALTHOUGH nominally this is a second edition of Mr. Scales's “Elementary Microscopy,” published in 1905, yet it is in effect a new book. The first edition was not so pretentious, and did not attempt to ...

A new microscopy method enables researchers to visualize the activity of the enzymes caspase-3 and alkaline phosphatase in various biological samples (Nat. Methods 2024, DOI: ...

Scientists have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that 'feels' the atoms at a surface. The method ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Combining microscopy methods achieves superresolution imaging without fluorescent labels. Lu Wei and coworkers at the California Institute of Technology have combined stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) ...

SIMIP enables high-resolution images rich in both chemical and spatial information. A quantum cascade laser (QCL) excites molecular vibrations while a spatial light modulator (SLM) generates striped ...

The Materials Science Learning Center (MSLC) offers resources and expert insights to enhance materials characterization and accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

(Nanowerk News) Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future ...

image: The graphic shows the basic experimental setup for Surface Plasmon Resonance Microscopy (SPRM). When a particle of interest binds with a receptor, tethered to a thin gold film, the event ...

"With the method we developed, we can make things visible that no one has seen before," says Prof. Sebastian Loth, Managing Director of the Institute for Functional Matter and Quantum Technologies ...

IN this third edition the author (whom death has recently claimed) has revised the text and introduced much new matter, particularly in the chapters dealing with the design of the microscope, choice ...
