EPFL scientists have recently come up with a next-generation microscope that can show live cells function and react under various experimental conditions. Called as CX-A, the microscope will show scientists how their organelles interact and react to stimuli.

This discovery could pave the way significant revelations about biological procedures that until now have been inadequately comprehended in view of the absence of a solid method to observe them.

With a resolution of <200 nm, scientists can see living cell populations and zoom in all the way down to individual organelles.

Samples are prepared by placing the cells on a special 96 well plate. Scientists can quickly set up their examinations by essentially indicating how frequently they need pictures to be taken; the device at that point keeps running without anyone else.
