New Method by Stanford Team Improves Low-Light Microscopy

Photos captured in poorly lit places such as restaurant or a concert venue turn out to be grainy and fuzzy. This issue is faced by researchers who want to capture images of biological specimens and have to work in low light areas in order to avoid damaging fragile samples.

New Multi-Photon Microscope Captures 3D Images of Thick Living and Fixed Tissues

You can’t study what you can’t see. That is why the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s Imaging Core is investing in a multi-photon microscope. The new device, which specializes in capturing 3-D images of thick living and fixed tissues, is to be installed at Penn Vet this summer and will enhance the bio-imaging infrastructure there and in Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine.

Hitachi High-Tech, RIKEN Jointly Launch MirrorCLEM to Simplify Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy

Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation (Hitachi High-Tech) and RIKEN, one of Japan’s national institutes for scientific research, announced today that they have jointly developed ”MirrorCLEM,” a system for simplifying correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) which enables the observation of one using both light and scanning electron microscopes (SEM).

New Underwater Microscope Helps Capture Seafloor Inhabitants at Nearly Micrometer Resolution

The Homo sapiens view of our world is all a matter of perspective, and we need to remember that we’re among the larger creatures on Earth. At around 1.7 meters in length, we’re much closer in size to the biggest animals that have ever lived – 30-meter-long blue whales – than the viruses and bacteria that are less than one-millionth our size.
