Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona have invented a device that for the first time allows neurosurgeons, who use microscopes extensively while operating, to see blood flowing inside vessels and ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

Acoustic microscopy and impedance analysis have emerged as pivotal tools in the non‐invasive investigation of biological tissues. By utilising high-frequency sound waves, these techniques deliver ...

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 ...

Freshly dissected tissue (lower left) and its pathology-prepared slide with identified tumor regions by a pathologist (upper left), and a pseudo-color image of hyperspectral dark-field microscopy ...

The researchers demonstrated the utility of their technique on a slice of a mouse brain, 200 microns (0.2 millimeters) in thickness. First, they made their tissue sample see-through using a tweaked ...

Researchers say study findings have highlighted biomarkers that could help improve early diagnosis of esophageal cancer, when it is easier to treat.

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 ...

In 2021, a technology developed at the University of Michigan, called Seq-Scope, revolutionized the ability to map gene ...

Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...
