We can see objects as small as 0.1 millimeters, and that means we can just about see these lice eggs in our hair and tiny single-celled organisms like amoeba. But it's possible to see things much ...

The Department of Biology at Saint Louis University offers a Leica SP8 confocal microscope with resonant scanner for academic and commercial use. Live-cell imaging can be performed using a stage ...

The microscopic world of cells and bacteria is incredibly important to understand, but tricky to study in detail, especially without harming the subjects. Researchers at EPFL have now developed a new ...

For centuries, biological imaging was myopic; visualization stopped at about 10 μm of tissue depth. Detailed observation of tissue came with a death sentence for the tissue (fixation) so that it could ...

Mass spectrometry has come into its own as an extremely powerful tool for the study of whole proteomes. So why are not more cell biologists embracing it with open arms? The human body has some 20,500 ...

Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...
