Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...
Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.
Existing super-resolution techniques still face considerable challenges in complex deep tissue environments. For example, Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy relies on a doughnut-shaped ...
To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...
In a study published in Nature Methods on December 2, a research team led by Profs. Xu Tao and Ji Wei from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a ...
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 ...
