Over the years, new technologies—from incorporating pinholes into light paths to gene editing samples for fluorescence expression—have allowed researchers to push the bounds of light microscopy.

Scientists developed a new microscope based on Brillouin scattering -- a phenomenon where light interacts with naturally occurring thermal vibrations within materials, from which their mechanical ...

A new microscopy method, light-microscopy-based connectomics (LICONN), has been developed by scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and Google Research, and could now ...

Microscope resolution with ultraviolet light. UV microscopy uses UV light as the source for the microscope, rather than visible light. UV light has a wavelength between 180 and 400 nm, which is ...

Light microscopes use light and mirrors and can see things as small as 400 nanometers. ... Here's an amoeba engulfing red blood cells and red and white blood cells moving through a tiny blood vessel.

The Light Microscopy Imaging Core facilities (LMIC) at Case Western Reserve University provide advanced imaging systems. including whole slide scanning, confocal microscopy, STED microscopy, ...

In the case of techniques like fluorescence microscopy, they deal with specific light sources on a black background. Hence, m-rBCR uses the frequency representation as the starting point.

The Brandeis Light Microscopy facility provides instrumentation, training, and support for faculty and trainees in the acquisition and analysis of data using state of the art imaging equipment. Here, ...

JENA, Germany & SEATTLE, May 06, 2025--ZEISS and Alpenglow Biosciences today announced a new partnership to jointly develop an inverted light-sheet microscope and bioinformatics pipeline tailored ...

An artist's representation of the new Brillouin microscopy approach that allows entire light-sheets to interact with 3D biological samples. The scattered light reveals a unique optical ...
