Improved microscopy technique sees living cells with seven times more sensitivity
Uncovering the mysteries of how cells function requires advanced imaging techniques to look inside the cells themselves. Research from the University of Tokyo introduces a new microscopy technique that allows us to see cellular structures in much more detail than before, without the need to use any dyes or high-power lasers that may alter the cell.
Taking images inside living cells using only light relies on the very small differences in the phase of the light as it passes through different parts of the cell’s architecture. Creating more detailed pictures requires the ability to detect even the most subtle of these changes with the highest possible sensitivity.
