Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers unveil Back-Illumination Tomography (BIT), a high-speed microscope that provides unprecedented, real-time views of living tissue to accelerate patient care and ...

As a result, an ordinary light microscope using one of the slides is able to image much smaller objects than was previously possible. In tests conducted so far, the slide enabled such a microscope to ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a sample with pinpoint accuracy. The original goal was to investigate biological ...

As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...
