Explore how AI is transforming advanced materials design by analyzing microscopy images to create smarter, faster innovation ...

An example of a cell image before and after segmentation, a process which allows researchers to distinguish single cells from each other and their background. Manually finding and labeling the ...

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

Deblurring by pixel reassignment remaps raw fluorescent microscopy images to sharpen images via pixel reassignment. Credit: Zhao and Mertz, doi 10.1117/1.AP.5.6.066004. Obtaining high-resolution ...

A microscopic 'Christmas tree' is a seasonal look at a remarkable science project that found eerie comparisons between the ...

Two-photon microscopy is a type of fluorescence microscopy that, rather than exciting the sample with a single photon, makes use of multiple photons. The advantage over more traditional one-photon ...
