Imaging technology allows 3D visualization of nanoscale structures

Researchers from Purdue University (IN, USA) have developed a new imaging technology to overcome previous issues associated with the resolving capabilities of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy for observing inside whole cell or tissue samples. Such technology will vitally advance the study and understanding of structural analyses for cancers and other diseases.  Previously, the challenges associated with super-resolution fluorescence microscope imaging revolved around the light signals emitted from molecules inside a specimen. These travel through different parts of the cell or tissue structure at different speeds and results in deviations, which deteriorate the image. The team’s novel technology overcomes this issue by...
