Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future insight into ...

Nearly 150 years ago, scientists began to imagine how information might flow through the brain based on the shapes of neurons they had seen under the microscopes of the time. With today's imaging ...

A new variant of expansion microscopy that is tailored for brain pathology samples reveals cells and structures that can’t be seen with other methods. Expansion microscopy is a way of achieving the ...

A pandemic-era breakthrough has allowed scientists to literally expand our view of plankton. By using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, researchers visualized the inner workings of hundreds of ...

There have been several significant technological advances within the field of microscopy over recent years, however the diffraction limit of light microscopy has restricted resolution at the ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a route to bioimaging in which a crosslinked swellable hydrogel is used to physically expand fluorescently labelled tissues without disturbing the cellular structure.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of ...
