- 1New microscope captures living cells of Antarctic fish in extreme cold●Researchers engineered a novel microscope capable of operating near 0 degrees Celsius, enabling the first-ever high-reso
Researchers have engineered a microscope that operates near 0 degrees Celsius, allowing the first high-resolution imaging of living cells in Antarctic fish. The observations aim to reveal how these fish survive in frigid waters, with potential implications for cryobiology, cell biology and marine science.
- 2Sphagnum moss in striking red and purple under the microscope●Red/purple sphagnum moss under a microscope, stem and crown, lit from above and below. # microscopy # wetlands # plants
Microscopy enthusiasts are sharing close-up images of sphagnum moss, showing its stem and crown in vivid red and purple tones under top and bottom lighting. The images highlight the plant's hidden structure and are drawing attention from plant lovers, gardeners and wetland fans, with many praising the unexpected colours and beauty of an ordinary bog plant.
- 3X-ray microscopy reveals flow behaviour in nanoparticle suspensions▼Multiscale transitional flow in anisotropic nanoparticle suspensions revealed by time-resolved X-ray scatter microscopy
Researchers report the use of time-resolved X-ray scatter microscopy to observe multiscale transitional flow in anisotropic nanoparticle suspensions. The technique makes it possible to track how these particle-laden fluids behave across different length and time scales as they shift between flow regimes. The study, published in Nature, offers new experimental insight into the dynamics of complex suspensions, a topic of interest in soft matter physics and materials science.
- 4Scientists Asked to Identify Mystery Algae From Tennessee Pond●Can anyone help me ID these algal samples from a # Tennessee pond? Not Spirogyra # science # biology # microbiology # al
A researcher in Tennessee has asked fellow scientists to help identify algal samples collected from a local pond, noting they are not the common filamentous green alga Spirogyra. The request highlights how microscopy enthusiasts and biologists turn to online communities for species identification when samples do not match familiar taxa.
