Fluorescence microscopy techniques are powerful tools for probing very small signals and revealing three-dimensional (3D) structural and functional properties of biological samples with high ...

Techniques such as two-photon excitation microscopy can reveal important information about cellular activity in the brain, but successfully applying the technique to live subjects is far from trivial.

An interview with Steve Bowen from Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies on the use of Flow Imaging Microscopy to improve particle analysis of printer toners. Particle analysis involves taking a sample ...

While confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light to generate the optical section, a multi-photon (or 2-photon) microscope uses a pulsed infrared laser to stimulate fluorescence ...

A novel optical microscope utilizing diffraction tomography to generate 3D holographic images of unlabeled live cells is now available from Tomocube. Called HT-1, the new microscope delivers ...

A research team has created a fluorescent marker molecule that does not degrade under a STED microscope: the photobleaching problem has been solved. Images of living cells can now be captured over ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Three-dimensional imaging is dramatically expanding the ability of researchers to examine biological specimens, enabling a peek into their internal structures. And recent advances in X-ray diffraction ...

Fluorescence light microscopy techniques offer several advantages when imaging biological samples, including high image contrast, good labeling specificity, multicolor, and three dimensional (3D) ...
