The Dutch haberdasher had crafted some of the first microscopes, never expecting to spy bacteria, sperm cells, red blood cells and much more. Looking through his microscopes, some of which ...

To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as possible. You should not look through the microscope to do this.

Scientists have been peeking through microscopes and taking pictures of cells for decades. The methods available for visualizing highly complex cells have changed over time, moving from simpler ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

Imaging the molecules in the spindle of a dividing cell – a longstanding challenge ... The concept for this microscope gelled ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered ...
