Super-resolution methods differ in the spatial and temporal detail they can capture, as well as the demands they place on the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT and the Broad Institute have developed a new variant of super-resolution microscopy that should offer new ...

After overcoming optical diffraction limits, companies started manufacturing super-resolution imaging instruments, but their user base remained restricted to those who invented the machines. But in ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of the most significant developments in optics. Due to the wave nature of light ...

New U-STORM imaging technology lets scientists view molecular structures in subatomic detail - about 1,000 times clearer than ...

Researchers in the lab of Sam Peng, the Pfizer Inc.–Gerald Laubach Career Development Assistant Professor of Chemistry at MIT ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

Super-resolution microscopy has transformed the study of renal podocytes by breaking through the ~250 nm diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy. Podocytes, with their interdigitating foot ...
