How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future insight into ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

Unlike other modes of microscopy that employ sophisticated optical equipment to acquire high-resolution images, expansion microscopy enlarges biological specimens physically enabling nanoscale image ...

A cell's identity is based on the genes it expresses, and scientists have been studying gene expression mechanisms for many years. But the process involves molecules that are too small to see, until ...

A new variant of expansion microscopy that is tailored for brain pathology samples reveals cells and structures that can’t be seen with other methods. Expansion microscopy is a way of achieving the ...

Allied Market Research published a report, titled, "Electron Microscopy Market by Type (Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) ...

Nearly 150 years ago, scientists began to imagine how information might flow through the brain based on the shapes of neurons they had seen under the microscopes of the time. With today's imaging ...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a route to bioimaging in which a crosslinked swellable hydrogel is used to physically expand fluorescently labelled tissues without disturbing the cellular structure.
