Light sheet microscopy allows biologists to selectively light up a thin slice of a sample. This method can improve image ...

Rice’s Anna-Karin Gustavsson published a method in Nano Letters expanding the use of light sheet microscopy to include a ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed 3D-nanoprinted reflective micromirror inserts that enable single-objective ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of the most significant developments in optics. Due to the wave nature of light ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

A new type of advanced microscope (wide-field coherent multidimensional microscopy) has been developed. It uses a carefully ...

In biology, seeing can lead to understanding, and researchers in Professor Edward Boyden's lab at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research are committed to bringing life into sharper focus. With a ...
