Conventional light microscopy has been instrumental for the study of cells and microorganisms; fluorescence microscopy has enabled visualization of even smaller cell features by selectively adding ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

The entire optical path of the BX53 is designed for optimal fluorescence imaging, using UIS2 components that set new standards in precision and clarity. High-quality mirror cube coatings provide ...

Cells have a clever way called clathrin-mediated endocytosis to transport cargos like growth factors across the cell membrane and into the cell. Researchers used a sophisticated fluorescence ...

Hamamatsu Photonics has succeeded in creating a technology “that upgrades the spatial resolution of two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy,” the company this week stated. Suited to ...

Hey folks! I figured this would be best in the observatory. I'm relearning how to use microscopes and learning for the first time how to really use them more effectively, so that I can show my ...

Chip technology presents a whole different view on microscopy. Chips are compact and can integrate multiple functionalities. The scaling possibilities could allow chip-based microscopes to be produced ...

Imagine you’re a PhD student with a fluorescent microscope and a sample of live bacteria. What’s the best way use these resources to obtain detailed observations of bacterial division from the sample?
