Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

There is a growing demand for non-invasive insights into the complex three-dimensional subcellular dynamics within living tissues on the frontier of biological research. To achieve simultaneous ...

Collective time-lapse images of a migrating neuron (left) and an elongating axon (right) from super-resolution microscopy. Growth cones at the tips of the neurons are extended while the cell body ...

Scientists at the Center for Cell Dynamics, School of Biological and Behavioral Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with Carl Zeiss, have developed an innovative live-cell ...

A decade ago, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a trio of researchers for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. The announcement at the time stated that the researchers’ ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...
