Scientists Observe Self -Sorting Phenomena of Artificial Nanofibers in Real Time

Similar to the way in which ants helped the Greek goddess Psyche in sorting a room filled with various grains, cells organize molecules into strong, functional fibers - but without any assistance. Researchers have now noticed that these self-sorting phenomena occur with artificial molecules in real time.

Nanolive’s New Microscope Observes Living Cells in 3D

Nanolive is planning to launch a new microscope, also know as the 3D Cell Explorer, on December 14. This new microscope will help to observe living cells in 3D. For the very first time, this invention will enable researchers to examine the inside of living cells without causing any damage to them. Preventing the cells from being stained, and eliminating the need to develop the sample far in advance. The invention will be displayed for the first time at the world’s biggest cellular biology conference in San Diego, U.S.

Breakthrough Open Source Software to Process Raw Image Data for High-Resolution Microscopy

Single molecules can be observed in detail using special microscopes. However, these ultra-high resolution instruments require an image processing step to process the raw image data to obtain an image. A new open source software solution, capable of rapidly and efficiently processing such raw image data has been developed by the Members of the Biomolecular Photonics Group at Bielefeld University for an ultra-high resolution fluorescence microscope used for biophysical research.
