When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

The original goal was to investigate biological samples on a molecular scale – but this soon led to stubborn technical problems. Eventually, however, the researchers realized that the very source of ...

Consists of chapters selected and translated by C. G. I. Friedlaender and G. Aletan from the editor's Handbuch der Mikroskopie in der Technik. "Tables and diagrams to chapter by G. Rehwald" (24 p.

Larry Allard, principal scientist who helped pioneer the technology of the aberration-corrected electron microscope (ACEM) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory 20 years ago, will speak to Friends of ORNL ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Physicists in Leiden have developed a microscope that can assess four important features of a material in a single scan, all ...
