A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

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 ...

Chemists discover how key contrast agent works, paving a way to create new markers needed for correlative microscopy that can image the structure and signaling of cells at the same time. Two labs at ...

The Advanced Light Microscopy and Innovation Lab (ALMIL) supports MSK researchers by advancing the use of cutting-edge imaging techniques to study complex biological systems. As a specialized hub, ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

Red blood cells are essential for oxygen transport and immune function in the human body. When these cells become abnormally shaped, they can indicate serious health conditions, including diabetes, ...

Encouraged by these results, Dudin, Dey, Guichard, and Hamel launched a close collaboration. Three years later, their work has produced near-encyclopedic insight into hundreds of protist species and ...
