Brighter Light, Sharper Science: Inside Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source Upgrade

An illustration of a large white building with a segmented orange dome roof, situated on a green lawn beside a body of water. Bright rays of light shine outward from a glowing center window. In the background, dark hills sit across the water, with the Golden Gate Bridge visible on the far right under a stylized, pale sky.

Building the Computational Mind for the “Swiss Army Knife” of Microscopes

A composite microscopy image divided into five pinwheel-like triangular segments, each showing the same cellular structure using a different imaging technique. Glowing green, blue, orange, and grayscale patterns reveal varied subcellular details, with a dashed square highlighting a central area of interest.
