The modern microscope is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to detecting disease, but typically the biological material being studied needs to be stained or dyed to reveal its secrets. This can ...

The first line of treatment for cancer is, whenever possible, to remove the cancerous tissue from the body. Though often ...

Case Western Reserve University biomedical researchers develop first open-source, quality-control review tool for fast-growing digital pathology field There’s a low-tech problem troubling the ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

MediSCAPE, a high-speed 3D microscope designed by Columbia Engineers, can see real-time cellular detail in living tissues to guide surgery, speed up tissue analyses, and improve treatments. A Columbia ...

A new technique uses high-throughput sequencing, instead of a microscope, to obtain ultra-high-resolution images of gene expression from a tissue slide. The 30,000 or so genes making up the human ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...
