Antiviral Actions of Polyphosphates against SARS-CoV-2 Variants Visualized with Super-resolution Microscopy
The global spread of COVID-19 with its relatively high mortality rate presents a current challenge to medical researchers to develop therapeutic strategies. Long-chain, inorganic polyphosphates are chains of inorganic phosphate units. These are found in many cells in our blood and are cytoprotective with antiviral activities, including against HIV-1 infection. We spoke with Dr. Massimo... Read more
Fading Fertility: Using Confocal Microscopy to Understand Oocyte Quality
Approximately every month, primary oocytes in fertile women develop into a few ova (egg cells); if one is fertilized with sperm, it can create a new human. The production of these cells actually starts during a woman’s embryonic development and the primary oocytes exist in a partially developed state until just prior to ovulation, when... Read more
Driving New Discoveries With Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy in an Advanced Core Imaging Facility
The Centre for Dynamic Imaging (CDI) at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in Parkville, Victoria (Australia) is both a core facility and a research lab for advanced microscopy helping scientists use advanced imaging technology and powerful computational resources to generate detailed and real-time views of biological systems. These new insights... Read more
Microscopy as a Hobby
While many microscopists work in research, clinical or educational settings, there is also a small group who spend their spare time enjoying microscopy as a hobby. Quite a few submissions for our ZEISS Microscopy Image Contest 2021 came from hobby microscopists. Enjoy their beautiful images and thoughts on microscopy as a hobby: Michael Witzke, Germany...

Precision Fabrication of Nano Patterns for Semiconductor Devices
Semiconductor devices are used in integrated circuits (IC) such as computer processors, microcontrollers and memory chips. These are present in everyday electrical and electronic devices. Their fabrication involves a sequence of photolithographic and chemical processing steps during which electronic circuits are gradually created on a wafer. The availability of metrology solutions, one of the critical... Read more
