The conventional microscopy is limited by the diffraction limit which is 250 nanometers. Thus, it is rather difficult to resolve objects that are smaller than that. However, some improvements have ...

A research team at the University of Tokyo has built a fluorescence microscopy system that can detect fleeting magnetic ...

Fluorescence is the foundation of our core. The bulk of instruments available for high resolution imaging at the OiVM are based on fluorescence. Fluorescence microscopy is a type of imaging where the ...

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 ...

The capabilities of the shared microscopy facility include brightfield, phase contrast, and both 2-D and 3-D fluorescence imaging. The OLYMPUS BX51 research microscope is a union of Olympus infinity ...

A Linnik interferometer microscope is designed to take high-resolution images of the surface topography of a sample. The device works by splitting a beam of illuminating light in two, with one beam ...

A research team at the University of Tokyo has developed a new microscopy platform that can observe a previously hidden layer ...

After it fills with cargo, the pit pinches off to form a clathrin-coated, membrane-bound vesicle inside the cell, which then proceeds to its proper destination. In cultured cells, hundreds of these ...

Researchers commonly employ fluorescence microscopy to characterize molecular, cellular, and developmental processes in depth. Despite its benefits, scientists can face challenges when imaging their ...

Some of biology’s most visually striking images come from fluorescence microscopes. Their brilliant colors on black look like a neon sign from an empty highway. A brand new fluorescence microscope is ...
