The Cryo-Electron Microscopy Center supports industry, academic, government, and non-profit research institutes, providing single-particle and microcrystal electron diffraction capabilities. We offer ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...

Nanoplastic particles made visible: the newly developed test strip from the University of Stuttgart allows dangerous nanoplastic particles to be detected under a light microscope. Credit: University ...

When it comes to vacuum cleaners, power isn't everything - but it certainly helps. The latest generation of vacuum cleaners on the market boast remarkable levels of suction that make cleaning a breeze ...

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have developed an “optical sieve” for detecting tiny nanoplastic particles. It works like a test strip and is intended to serve as a new analysis tool in ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...

Abstract: The study of emulsions in the oil industry is essential due to their impact on oil recovery and production processes. Produced water containing oil and harmful compounds poses significant ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

Researchers have developed a new microscope that can visualize the optical response of surfaces at an unprecedented spatial resolution of one nanometer. This paves the way for optical microscopy of ...
