Ultraviolet (UV) microscopy is a powerful imaging modality that harnesses the shorter wavelengths of UV light to achieve high-resolution imaging and probe molecular-level chemical and structural properties of biological and biomedical specimens, often without the need for extrinsic labelling. Innovations in technologies such as low-cost illuminators, detectors, and new ways of preparing specimens for imaging have led to a better understanding of complex biological systems. Here we review the latest advances and trends in UV microscopy for applications in the life sciences, including histology, cell biology and haemotology. By examining these developments, we highlight the evolving potential of UV and we conclude by considering the future of this longstanding technique.
