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

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 ...

A mouse’s heart beats roughly 600 times each minute. With every beat, blood pumping through vessels jiggles the brain and other organs. That motion doesn’t trouble the mouse, but it does pose a ...

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 ...

Which stereo microscopes are best? Depending on how you plan to use it, finding the best stereo microscope for your needs can actually make a huge difference. However, making sense of the various ...
