Microscopy

Using a new microscopy method, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory can image and measure electrochemical processes in batteries in real time and at nanoscale resolution.

A graphene water balloon may soon open up new vistas for scientists seeking to understand health and disease at the most fundamental level.

A group of microscopes that can magnify images as much as 600,000 times their normal size was the focus of a Research Rally Jan. 24 at New Mexico State University

When capturing images at the atomic scale, even tiny movements of the sample can result in skewed or distorted images – and those movements are virtually impossible to prevent. Now microscopy researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that accounts for that movement and eliminates the distortion from the finished product.

Two exceptional research images captured at Indiana University’s Light Microscopy Imaging Center are among the 15 finalists in the international GE Healthcare Life Sciences 2013 Cell Imaging Competition. The IU center won the competition last year with an image of a dividing mammalian cell and could do so again if enough votes from scientists and the public are cast online by the Dec. 20 competition deadline.
