Simply put, the new microscope can capture even the tiniest cell structures as it has a resolution better than five nanometers. The newly-developed instrument is called a fluorescence microscope ...

Then, they identified all synapses between the two nerve cells under the electron microscope. They correlated the size of these synapses with the synaptic impulses they had measured previously.

Recent experiments showed that damaged retinal ganglion cells of adult mammals can regenerate extensively into a segment of peripheral nerve grafted into the eye of rats 1 or hamsters 2, 3, 4.In ...

This 3-D rendering of the larval fruit fly’s neurons was constructed from serial images captured with an electron microscope. Spheres represent each nerve cell body and the elongated tails are ...

New AI technique identifies dead cells under the microscope 100 times faster than people can – potentially accelerating research on neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s ...
