In a landmark achievement in biological imaging, researchers at Biohub and the University of California, Berkeley today announced the successful demonstration of the laser phase plate, a novel device ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...
