Hedgehog proteins are some of the most important molecules in biology. These proteins help regulate cell growth, specialization, and patterning in the development of embryos by acting as messengers ...

Atomic force microscopy is a powerful technique that has been widely used in materials research, nano-imaging, and bioimaging. It is a topographical metrology approach that is commonly utilized in ...

(Nanowerk News) NIST researchers have demonstrated the autonomous computer-controlled assembly of atoms into perfect nanostructures using a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. The results, ...

[JBumstead] didn’t want an ordinary microscope. He wanted one that would show the big picture, and not just in a euphemistic sense, either. The problem though is one of resolution. The higher the ...

Imagine shrinking a microscope, integrating it with a chip and using it to observe inside living cells in real time. Wouldn't it be great if this tiny microscope could also be incorporated into ...

The Galileo KineMic entry-level, modular video-based inspection microscope is well suited for quality assurance, documentation, and assembly tasks The Galileo KineMic entry-level, modular video-based ...

Laser scanning microscopes are useful for all kinds of tiny investigations. As it turns out, you can build one using parts salvaged from a Blu-ray player, as demonstrated by [Doctor Volt]. The trick ...

Microscopy is an essential tool in many fields of science and medicine. However, many groups have limited access to this technology due to its cost and fragility. Now, researchers from the ...

Structural biologist Stephen Long is using cryogenic electron microscopy to study proteins at the atomic level. Hedgehog proteins are some of the most important molecules in biology. These proteins ...
