Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Scientists developed a new microscope based on Brillouin scattering -- a phenomenon where light interacts with naturally occurring thermal vibrations within materials, from which their mechanical ...

The Advanced Light Microscopy and Innovation Lab (ALMIL) supports MSK researchers by advancing the use of cutting-edge imaging techniques to study complex biological systems. As a specialized hub, ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
