Leiden physicists are helping Wageningen plant researchers to study unpredictable plant embryos. For this, they are using a novel two-photon fluorescence microscope, aided by a 30 thousand euro ZonMW ...

There's a problem in cell biology research: to study what happens inside a cell, it has to be destroyed. When scientists use a traditional microscope to observe a cell, they use stains -- chemicals ...

An outline is given of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microscopy and its application to plant science. An NMR microscope non-destructively detects free water in tissues and creates anatomical images ...

You could probably find a few biologists who are diehard protein partisans, and others who love lipids, but if a genie granted them one wish for what they could see inside living cells, most would ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

When placed inside an electron microscope, the familiar goldenrod transforms into a world of alien-like textures, spiky pollen grains, and intricate cell structures invisible to the naked eye.
