Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona have invented a device that for the first time allows neurosurgeons, who use microscopes extensively while operating, to see blood flowing inside vessels and ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Acoustic microscopy and impedance analysis have emerged as pivotal tools in the non‐invasive investigation of biological tissues. By utilising high-frequency sound waves, these techniques deliver ...

Freshly dissected tissue (lower left) and its pathology-prepared slide with identified tumor regions by a pathologist (upper left), and a pseudo-color image of hyperspectral dark-field microscopy ...

The researchers demonstrated the utility of their technique on a slice of a mouse brain, 200 microns (0.2 millimeters) in thickness. First, they made their tissue sample see-through using a tweaked ...

An international research team has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings ...

Genoa (Italy), July 24, 2025 – Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered ...

What is Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy? Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) is a non-contact scanning probe microscopy technique that enables high-resolution imaging of living cells and ...

Occult microscopic endometriosis is a form of endometriosis that’s difficult for doctors to detect with standard diagnostic techniques. Symptoms include pelvic pain that worsens before or during your ...
