Cells come unhitched from each other in this image of a pistachio hull where it has split. Look at about three o’clock in this photo where it’s violet; the cells look like they're all squished ...

The complexity of biology can befuddle even the most sophisticated light microscopes. Biological samples bend light in unpredictable ways, returning difficult-to-interpret information to the ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

Two new microscopy techniques may enable better resolution from existing hardware and greater imaging depths if a different light source is used. We take a look at each of these in turn. Self-healing ...
