Physicists in Leiden have developed a microscope that can assess four important features of a material in a single scan, all ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

For human researchers, it takes many years of work to discover new super-resolution microscopy techniques. The number of possible optical configurations of a microscope -- for example, where to place ...

The original goal was to investigate biological samples on a molecular scale – but this soon led to stubborn technical problems. Eventually, however, the researchers realized that the very source of ...

Voids, or empty spaces, are present in matter of all sizes, from the astronomical to the microscopic. In this study, three-dimensional nanoscale gaps were revealed using advanced mathematical and ...

Consists of chapters selected and translated by C. G. I. Friedlaender and G. Aletan from the editor's Handbuch der Mikroskopie in der Technik. "Tables and diagrams to chapter by G. Rehwald" (24 p.

The FEI 200kV Titan Themis Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) is a scanning transmission electron microscope with several key capabilities. This microscope positions Michigan Tech ...
