Scientists adapt astronomy method to unblur microscopy images

New method to generate clearer images of thick biological samples

14-Jun-2024 - Astronomers figured out long ago how to make the images their telescopes capture of far-away galaxies clearer and sharper. By using techniques that measure how light is distorted by the atmosphere, they can apply corrections to cancel out aberrations. Microscopists have been adapting these ...

DNA study casts light on century-old mystery of how cells divide

22-Jan-2018 - Scientists have solved a longstanding puzzle of how cells are able to tightly package DNA to enable healthy cell division. Their findings shed light on how single cells can compact DNA 10,000-fold to partition it between two identical cells - a process that is essential for growth, repair and ...
