A team has constructed an improved mid-infrared microscope, enabling them to see the structures inside living bacteria at the nanometer scale. Mid-infrared microscopy is typically limited by its low ...
Researchers found bacterial cells so large they are easily visible to the naked eye, challenging ideas about how large microbes can get. By Carl Zimmer In a Caribbean mangrove forest, scientists have ...
This illustration represents a bacteria being illuminated with mid-infrared in the top left, while visible light from a microscope underneath is used to help capture the image. A team at the ...
