UW researchers improve microscopy method to ‘swell’ cellular structures, bringing fine details into view 

UW researchers improve microscopy method to ‘swell’ cellular structures, bringing fine details into view  | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

Scientists from the University of Washington recently reported a relatively simple method that would allow ordinary laboratory microscopes to illuminate many of these cellular structures quickly and efficiently. They did not modify microscopes to boost resolution. Instead, they used an approach to swell the tiny, complex structures within cells, bringing them within range of a microscope's existing resolving range.

Fast and precise targeting of single tumor cells in vivo by multimodal correlative microscopy

Fast and precise targeting of single tumor cells in vivo by multimodal correlative microscopy | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

In this study, the authors combines intravital microscopy, microscopic X-ray computed tomography and three-dimensional electron microscopy to captured single tumor cells in the vasculature of the cerebral cortex and in subcutaneous tumors, providing unique insights into metastatic events. The versatility of this workflow allows envisioning broad applications in various fields of biological research such as cancer or developmental biology.
