Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

The capabilities of the shared microscopy facility include brightfield, phase contrast, and both 2-D and 3-D fluorescence imaging. The OLYMPUS BX51 research microscope is a union of Olympus infinity ...

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 ...

At the Society for Amateur Scientists meeting in Philadelphia, June 28-30, amateur microscopist Ely Silk demonstrated a low-cost solution that could bring fluorescence microscopy to laboratories and ...

Fluorescence microscopy uses fluorescent labels or dyes to augment the images normally obtained by optical microscopy. Fluorescence images can achieve a higher resolution than conventional reflection ...

Recent technological advances in conjunction with major developments in fluorescent markers have made fluorescence microscopy an extremely powerful tool. René Hessling and Thorsten Kues of Carl Zeiss ...

Imagine you're a PhD student with a fluorescent microscope and a sample of live bacteria. What's the best way use these resources to obtain detailed observations of bacterial division from the sample?
