With expansion microscopy, Boyden's group reported an effective resolution of about 70 nanometers, for a fourfold expansion. Boyden says this is a level of clarity that biologists need.

"It's a level of biology that no one has ever seen before," Weinstein said. "To be able to see that kind of a view of nature from within a specimen is exhilarating." Unlike traditional microscopes ...

A supplement contextualizes key advances in light microscopy over 400 years, while the Tara expedition sets sail to explore oceanic ecosystems at the microscopic level. Microscopes were also in ...

and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) are two closely related imaging techniques used in material science, nanotechnology, and biology for obtaining high-resolution images of samples at the ...

We can use microscopes to look at objects too small to be seen by the naked eye. The microscope in the picture is a light microscope. It uses focused light passed through the object and two lenses ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a subset of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM ... where understanding surface interactions at the molecular level can lead to more efficient catalytic processes, improved ...
