In recent years, fluorescence quenching microscopy (FQM) 1-3 has emerged as a viable technique that allows for the swift, cost-effective, and accurate imaging of two-dimensional (2D) materials like ...

What is Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy? Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that enables the visualization and quantification of the elemental ...

Pushing the MINFLUX technique to higher spatial and temporal precision allows protein dynamics to be observed under physiological conditions. Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

What is Structured Illumination Microscopy? Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique that allows for imaging beyond the diffraction limit of ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University have engineered a fluorescent dye that keeps glowing even when submerged in superacidic ...

Striking the Right Balance between Signal Strength and Long-Term Cell Health A key challenge with live-cell fluorescence imaging is the ability to visualize weak fluorescent signals over background ...

A device that can convert a smartphone or tablet into a fluorescence microscope for less than US $50 is presented in a proof-of-principle study in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that the ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers have succeeded in developing a microscope ...
