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 ...

SIMIP enables high-resolution images rich in both chemical and spatial information. A quantum cascade laser (QCL) excites molecular vibrations while a spatial light modulator (SLM) generates striped ...

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.

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed a new microscopy technique that ...

In life sciences, confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) is widely regarded for producing high-resolution cellular images. However, it requires fluorescent staining, which poses risks of ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new fluorescence microscopy approach that significantly improves image resolution by acquiring three views of a sample at the same time. Their new method is particularly ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza ("flu") viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

In a study published in ACS Nano, researchers from National Taiwan University report a new expansion microscopy strategy ...
