It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Eduardo Hirata Miyasaki, who performed the research in Sara Abrahamsson’s research lab while at the University of California Santa Cruz and is now at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, is pictured building ...

The world of laser scanning microscopy is quickly evolving, thanks to the advent of fast and compact detector arrays. These arrays replace the typical single-element detector of traditional confocal ...

Mapping the brain is one of the biggest challenges in modern science. Researchers are trying to understand how billions of brain cells connect and communicate, almost like building a wiring diagram ...

Princeton scientists are peering into the smallest corners of matter using an exceptional collection of sophisticated microscopes — some so big they fill a room. These remarkable instruments have ...

Understanding when and why a cell dies is fundamental to the study of human development, disease and aging. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, ...
