Stanford’s new microscope reveals living cells like never before - Science Daily

A new microscope developed at Stanford University allows scientists to watch the tiny structures inside living cells move and interact in real time, providing an exceptionally detailed view without the fluorescent labels typically used to make these structures visible. Researchers at Stanford have created a powerful new imaging system that reveals the inner workings of living cells with remarkable clarity. By combining two advanced microscopy techniques, the instrument achieves a resolution of approximately 120 nanometers, an unprecedented level of detail for an approach that does not require fluorescent labels.
