Visibly more movement: researchers develop new microscope for immune cells

High-throughput analysis of drug substances: 60 times faster than conventional microscopes

13-Dec-2023 - Immune cells fight infectious agents, for example, or search for developing cancers. To do this, they constantly migrate through the tissues of our body. In the wrong place, however, immune cells such as neutrophil granulocytes can also cause damage: If these white blood cells infiltrate tumors, ...

Online Microscopy Platform: See-through for Everyone!

One can focus through the high-resolution specimens just like on a microscope, in order to see details in sharp focus that are located in different layers

12-May-2023 - Fix the slide, adjust, start with the lowest magnification and then focus through the specimen: This routine is particularly familiar to biology students from microscopy classes. Now, the process also works digitally. More than 200 specimens of plants, animals and microorganisms can be viewed in ...

Artificial intelligence: Swarm learning decodes biomolecules

28-Jul-2021 - They are often referred to as the "building blocks of life": Biomolecules. To understand and use their function in the body, one must know their structure. A complex and sometimes imprecise matter. This is where the new method developed at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) together with ...

Potential Beginning of Life Simulated in Lab

Did life originate not on the ground but underground?

15-Jun-2020 - Scientists atUniversity of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) have substantiated their theory that first life could have begun deep in the earth's crust. In their experiments, structures that were inanimate developed survival strategies within a short time. In the beginning there was the vesicle: A ...

New Form of Microscopy Developed

Breakthrough in nanooptics

28-Apr-2020 - The duration of their snapshot relates to one second as one second relates to the age of the universe: In a joint collaboration with Australian Scientist Tim Davis and the Group around Harald Gießen (University of Stuttgart), Physicists from CENIDEhave developed ultrafast vector microscopy as a ...

Catalyst deposition on fragile chips

17-Feb-2020 - Electrocatalysts can help to obtain chemicals from renewable raw materials or to use alternative energy sources. But testing new catalysts brings challenges. Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the University of Duisburg-Essen have developed a new method of depositing catalyst ...
