Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes and microscope lenses that could push 3D tissue imaging beyond ...

A laser (purple) is powerfully amplified by highly polished mirrors and focused on the electron beam (blue) to shift its phase and increase the cryo-EM microscope’s contrast, allowing biologists to ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

A framework for analyzing single-cell genomics data, in which geometrical properties are harnessed to obtain insights on cellular diversity, including precise clustering, clear visualizations, and ...
