In most cases, the light comes from outside the object being photographed. A recent study explored a different approach, using the cells' own chemical glow to illuminate their internal structures. This new experimental framework, called REID, lets microscopes capture super-sharp, high-resolution details of cell structures by bypassing the need for harsh external lasers that can sometimes damage the cells being imaged.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-19T16:20:04+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-19T16:30:13.092734+00:00"}}
