A team of researchers in Germany and Australia recently used a new microscopy technique to image nano-scale biological structures at a previously unmanageable resolution, without destroying the living ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of proteins with a ...

On December 14, Nanolive will launch a new type of microscope. For the first time, this new tool will allow researchers to peer inside living cells without damaging them – i.e. without having to ...

All life is made up of cells several magnitudes smaller than a grain of salt. Their seemingly simple-looking structures mask the intricate and complex molecular activity that enables them to carry out ...

A never-before-seen tubes inside bacteria may hold the key to protecting oranges, lemons, and limes from the damaging citrus ...

Magnification can be worked out from a photograph or drawing using the equation below: The same unit of measurement should be used when making the calculation - metre (m), millimetre (mm) or ...

Scientists have discovered a mysterious new structure lurking inside every human cell. These tiny structures, dubbed hemifusomes, are just 200 to 400 nanometres in diameter. To put that into ...

This release is available in German. Microscopes provide valuable insights in the structure and dynamics of cells, in particular when the latter remain in their natural environment. However, this is ...
