Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved high-resolution visualization of cellular organelles, such as nuclei and mitochondria, using an external apodized phase contrast (ExAPC) microscope.

A new purpose-built microscope has been developed that uses the complex properties of UV light to improve image resolution and contrast. Most cells are transparent at visible wavelengths, which means ...

Hosts of new applications have turned the light microscope into an exquisitely sensitive measuring device that can be used to image dynamic cellular events right down to the molecular level. Indeed, ...

You know when you are at the eye doctor getting an updated prescription, and suddenly the world snaps into sharper focus? Physicists at the University of California (UC), Berkeley, have now done ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have found that the motion of unlabeled cells can be used to tell whether they are cancerous or healthy. They observed malignant ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Phase contrast microscope objective ...

(A) When a traditional Gaussian beam is used, diffraction causes the illumination beam to widen at the edges. (B) Joint optimization scheme. A network predicts the positions of beads in the focal ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...
