Compiled by BioPhotonics staff

A three-dimensional cell imaging method has been developed to study the complex spatial-temporal dynamics of protein transport, a challenging feat in the field of cell biology. Because of cell-to-cell variations in thickness and the temporal properties of protein transport, scientists have faced many technical challenges trying to image such dynamic processes in the cell and in 3-D. Previous techniques were slow and suffered from poor Z-localization and 3-D tracking capability, say researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and the University of Texas at...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
