Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

A cell can act in astonishingly complex ways. It must decide for itself whether to grow and multiply, rest, specialize, age ...

A UCLA scientist's cell phone microscope -- pocket-size technology for global health researchers -- is the top innovation of 2011, according to a list published by The Scientist magazine. Instead of ...

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 ...

Maybe you remember “the cell” from your high school biology book? A smooth, brownish blob, cut away to show the supposedly neat and orderly components, arranged just so. It was an uncomplicated look ...

Imagine a microscope implanted into your body that could automatically sort out cancerous cells based on how they looked. That's the long-term promise of a lensless microscope that Caltech researchers ...

In some cases, looking at a living cell under a microscope can cause it damage or worse, can kill it. Now, a new kind of microscope has been invented by researchers from the Howard Hughes Medical ...

When obtaining three-dimensional images of cells using a scanning electron microscope, individual cells are scanned one section at a time and those images are then put together to form one complete 3D ...
