EPFL and Dartmouth College create detector array to spot fluorescent molecules in scattering media.

A ground-breaking technique formulated by the Prevedel Group at European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) enables neuroscientists to track live neurons deep inside the brain — or any other cell concealed within an opaque tissue.

Scientists can now follow the activity of multiple neurons as a mouse sees, responds and behaves, thanks to advances in multiphoton microscopy.

Novel optical device could open new avenues in advanced microscopy What if a microscope allowed us to explore the 3D microcosm of blood vessels, nerves, and cancer cells instantaneously in virtual reality? What if it could provide views from multiple directions in real time without physically moving the specimen and worked up to 100 times faster than current technology? UT Southwestern scientists collaborated with colleagues in England and Australia to build and test a novel optical device that...

Novel microscopy method provides look into future of cell biology ANI | Updated: Jul 02, 2021 07:54 IST Washington [US], July 2 (ANI): UT (University of Texas) Southwestern scientists collaborated with colleagues in England and Australia to build and test a novel optical device that converts commonly used microscopes into multiangle projection imaging systems. The invention, described in an article in the journal Nature Methods, could open new avenues in ad...

The scientific literature is riddled with bad charts and graphs, leading to misunderstanding and worse.

RNA sequencing is a powerful technology for studying cells and diseases. Scientists from the research group of Christoph Bock, principal investigator at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and professor at the Medical University of Vienna, developed a new method for sequencing huge numbers of single cells in an efficient manner. The study has now been published in Nature Methods.

AI Technology may Lead to More Improved Microscopes Written by AZoRoboticsMay 10 2021 Researchers have begun to apply a method, known as light-field microscopy, to visualize the rapid neuronal signals in a fish brain. This method makes it viable to image these rapid biological processes in 3D. A representation of a neural network provides a backdrop to a fish larva’s beating heart. Image Credit: Tobias Wüstefeld. However, the images usually lack quality, and it takes hours or even days to co...

Artificial intelligence can boost power, efficiency of even the best microscopes By (0) Researchers used their new AI-powered microscopy technology to image the beating heart of a fish larva. Photo by Tobias Wuestefeld May 7 (UPI) -- With the help of artificial intelligence, even already powerful microscopes can see better, faster and process more data. In a new study, published Friday in the journal Nature Methods, researchers used new machine learning algorithms to combine a pair of novel m...

Mini-Microscope Allows Brain Imaging of Freely Moving Mice in Real Time Source: Kateryna KDN/Science Photo Library/Getty Images April 7, 2021 Share Although brain imaging is performed on head-fixed mice, recording neural activity in freely behaving mice has remained a challenge. To address this, researchers report the development of a unique head-mounted mini-microscope device that allows them to image complex brain functions of freely moving mice in real time over a period of more than 300 day...
