State-of-the-art atomic force microscopes (AFMs) are designed to capture images of structures as small as a fraction of a nanometer—a million times smaller than the width of a human hair. In recent ...

The first deep-learning software was developed as a versatile tool for tracking cells and extracting their signals from ~100 cells in a moving worm brain, in a zebrafish heart, and ~1,000 cultured ...

Big and small: RUSH image of the brain of a live mouse. The coloured lines show the motions of labelled immune cells. The image is about 1 cm across. (Courtesy: Jingtao Fan et al/Nature Photonics) A ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Nikon is out with the winners of its annual Small World in Motion Competition, a contest that awards the best microscope videos from photographers around the world.

Now a group of MIT engineers has created a new microscope that can generate close to real-time images of processes at nearly the atomic level. For human observers, microscopic worlds that had appeared ...

Just when I thought I'd seen it all and there was nothing the beauty world could throw my way that I couldn't handle, one of my favorite YouTubers just had to post a video showing makeup under a ...

Engineers and neuroscientists have joined forces to create 3D videos of individual nerve cells moving, stretching and switching on inside fruit fly larvae as they move. Data gleaned from these videos ...

Digital and video microscopes are instruments that use digital technology to magnify images of objects. They include built-in cameras and a series of high-powered lenses that provide superior image ...
