How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.
Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think.
By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...
Bridging basic science and application, this postdoc develops living technologies for health and sustainability.
A research team from Munich has identified a previously unknown communication mechanism in harvestmen. Five closely related ...
FLIM principles. Schematic overview of fluorescence lifetime data acquisition and analysis in time−domain (td) and frequency−domain (fd) modes. In tdFLIM, photon arrival times are recorded after each ...
A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...
New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...
Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...
