A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Expansion microscopy image of Lacrymaria, a ciliated eukaryotic microorganism, collected from environmental samples in Tokyo. Highlighted in green is tubulin, the major protein component of ...

There have been several significant technological advances within the field of microscopy over recent years, however the diffraction limit of light microscopy has restricted resolution at the ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is an attractive route to nanoscale imaging for labs without conventional super-resolution microscopes. It involves linking fluorescent markers through a gel infused into ...

Harvard scientists have unveiled a new technique called expansion in situ genome sequencing (ExIGS) that combines existing in situ genome sequencing (IGS) with expansion microscopy (ExM). The ...

Instead of relying on lenses to zoom in, expansion microscopy physically enlarges biological tissues by embedding them in a hydrogel, a water-absorbing polymer that can expand without losing its shape ...

When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass lenses magnifies the object of your attention — a microbe, for example. But even with the largest zoom on a classic compound optical system, ...
