Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths ...

The wiring of one insect’s brain no longer contains much uncharted territory. All of the nerve cells — and virtually every connection between them — in a larval fruit fly brain have now been mapped, ...

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 ...

How do the nerve cells in our brain communicate with each other? What processes take place when T cells render cancer cells harmless? Details of the mechanisms at the cellular level remain hidden from ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...
