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

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

The images in a meme are authentic photographs of tears under a special type of microscope. It is also true that there are three types of tears, each of which is produced through a different ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Researchers at MIT, working with partners at NASA, have developed a new concept for a microscope that would use neutrons — subatomic particles with no electrical charge — instead of ...

Pathologists often use tissue samples and microscopy to help diagnose diseases like cancer. But distinguishing different cells often require several stages of staining. Now researchers are presenting ...

We wanted to make a video in which we examined every type of rice under a microscope and then cooked a dish with each of them, but then we learned that there are more than forty thousand varieties of ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...
