A virtual atlas of breast histopathology: An application of web based virtual microscopy
Researchers at the universities of Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) have developed a new virtual microscopy system, which allows users digitize entire microscope glass slide specimens, and then create a virtual slide with the quality and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a microscope. The results are high-resolution digital... view more... (2004-11-26)
1 sample examined by 1,000 pathologists -- how and why?
This week, more than eight hundred pathologists from around Europe and the world will take part in a first of its kind, large-scale virtual microscopy slide seminar on the web. view more (2007-09-06)
Synergy between biology and physics drives cell-imaging technology
Developing techniques to image the complex biological systems found at the sub-cellular level has traditionally been hampered by divisions between the academic fields of biology and physics. However, a new interdisciplinary zeal has seen a number of exciting advances in super-resolution imaging technologies. view more (2008-06-02)
Inside rocks, implications for finding life on Mars
If a future space mission to Mars brings rocks back to Earth, Schopf said the techniques he has used, called confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, could enable scientists to look at microscopic fossils inside the rocks to search for signs of life, such as organic cell walls. view more (2006-02-01)
New hybrid microscope probes nano-electronics
A new form of scanning microscopy that simultaneously reveals physical and electronic profiles of metal nanostructures has been demonstrated at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2006-10-30)
UGA biomedical engineer publishes on 'super-resolution' video imaging
A crucial tool in the evolution of scientific capability in bioscience, the fluorescence microscope has allowed a generation of scientists to study the properties of proteins inside cells. view more (2009-05-05)
Breaking the nanometer barrier in X-ray microscopy
Argonne National Laboratory scientists in collaboration with Xradia have created a new X-ray microscope technique capable of observing molecular-scale features, measuring less than a nanometer in height. view more (2006-11-10)

UCSB researchers discover shape matters to macrophages
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size. view more (2006-03-22)
Light shines for potential early cancer diagnosis technique
A team led by a Northwestern University biomedical engineer has developed a new optical technique that holds promise for minimally invasive screening methods for the early diagnosis of cancer. view more (2008-12-11)
Southampton researchers develop novel method for detecting vCJD prions on surgical instruments
Researchers from the University of Southampton, together with Surrey-based diagnostics company, Microgen Bioproducts Limited, and microscopy specialists, Best Scientific of Swindon, are developing important new methods for detecting prions- the proteins implicated in sporadic and variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD) - on surgical instruments.... view more...

Potential leap forward in electron microscopy
MIT electrical engineers have proposed a new scheme that can overcome a critical limitation of high-resolution electron microscopes: they cannot be used to image living cells because the electrons destroy the samples. view more (2009-10-07)
NIST reference materials are 'gold standard' for bio-nanotech research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued its first reference standards for nanoscale particles targeted for the biomedical research community-literally "gold standards" for labs studying the biological effects of nanoparticles. view more (2008-01-10)
Argonne scientists discover networks of metal nanoparticles are culprits in alloy corrosion
Oxide scales are supposed to protect alloys from extensive corrosion, but scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered metal nanoparticle chinks in this armor. view more (2008-08-05)
New technique yields more detailed picture of chromatin structure
University of Illinois researchers have developed a technique for imaging cells under an electron microscope that yields a sharper image of the structure of chromatin, the tightly wound bundle of genetic material and proteins that makes up the chromosomes. view more (2008-04-17)
Nanomicroscopy reveals the collective transport of gold atoms in real-time
Researchers at Delft University of Technology used a High Resolution Electron Microscope to observe in real-time the collective transportation of gold atoms in a thin layer. view more (2007-02-06)
Wellcome Trust grant to investigate degenerative brain diseases known as `tauopathies`
Dr Julian Thorpe, head of the Electron Microscopy Lab at the University of Sussex, will be working towards a better understanding of degenerative brain diseases thanks to a £247,000 grant from the Wellcome Trust. He is taking a very close look at a possible contributory cause of nerve cell death in a group of conditions related to... view more... (2002-04-17)
Capturing cell protein production in action could help fight antibiotic resistance
The fight against antibiotic resistance could be aided by new 3D images of the final steps involved in manufacturing proteins in living cells, scientists reveal today in a letter to Nature. By refining a technique known as cryo-electron microscopy, researchers from Imperial College London and CNRS-Inserm-Strasbourg University have determined how... view more... (2004-02-25)
