Expansion microscopy (ExM) is an attractive route to nanoscale imaging for labs without conventional super-resolution microscopes. It involves linking fluorescent markers through a gel infused into ...

There have been several significant technological advances within the field of microscopy over recent years, however the diffraction limit of light microscopy has restricted resolution at the ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Researchers devised a way to expand tissue 20-fold in a single step. Their simple, inexpensive method could pave the way for nearly any biology lab to perform nanoscale imaging. A classical way to ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

If you want to see cells in detail under a microscope, you probably think you need more powerful and expensive equipment. 'Expansion Microscopy' overturns that notion. By using absorbent materials ...

A new variant of expansion microscopy that is tailored for brain pathology samples reveals cells and structures that can’t be seen with other methods. Expansion microscopy is a way of achieving the ...
