A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

Mouse primary motor and somatosensory cortices contain detailed information about the many time-varying arm and paw joint angles during reaching and grasping, implying a 'low-level' role in ...

In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

Pi Imaging Technology, a Swiss startup company specializing in single-photon detectors and cameras, has been acquired by Zeiss. The German optics giant has been collaborating with Pi Imaging for some ...

First, a special type of microscope called a two-photon microscope is used, which can look deep into live tissues with minimal damage. To improve how steady the tissue remains during imaging, they ...
