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 ...

Ultraprecise fluorescence nanoscopy techniques such as MINFLUX and RASTMIN are enabling molecular-scale imaging and tracking in biologically relevant conditions. However, their implementation is ...

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 ...

Labs can be resource-intensive areas, but there are many ways we can make a positive change and become more sustainable. There is a growing trend towards sustainability throughout the scientific ...

Fluorescence miscroscopy is a method used in biochemistry that uses fluorescence to study the nature and properties of organic or inorganic substances. It works by absorbing light in a specific ...

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 ...

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?
