In this article, we look at some of the key developments of various microscopy techniques over the last few years and how they have benefitted different areas of research and development. The impact ...

Genoa (Italy), 15th January 2026 - Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

An international research team has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings ...

Genoa (Italy), July 24, 2025 – Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered ...

Chemotherapy is a powerful weapon against cancer, but certain cells resist treatment by entering a dormant stage called senescence. These therapy-induced senescent (TIS) cells may become resistant to ...

One variation of electron microscopy is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In a TEM experiment, the electron beam passes through the sample and the electrons are directly imaged onto an electron ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...
