A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight ...

(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

Cryogenic microscopy at Diamond Light Source enables high-resolution, correlative imaging of cells under near-physiological ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...

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 combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes it can be impaired, allowing diseases such as cancer to develop. Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in collaboration ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

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 ...
