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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Understanding how living cells grow, respond to stimuli, and change over time is central to modern cell biology and drug discovery. Many traditional imaging approaches rely on fluorescent labels, ...

A research team at the University of Tokyo has built a fluorescence microscopy system that can detect fleeting magnetic reactions inside living biological material, reactions that conventional imaging ...

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 ...

ST. LOUIS, MO, August 20, 2025 - A team of expert scientists led by Kirk Czymmek, PhD, director of the Advanced Bioimaging Laboratory at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and Heather E.

A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

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 ...
