In this interview, Claudia Florindo talks about what matters when comparing benchtop fluorescence microscopes. What prompted Oxford Instruments to produce this buyer's guide, and what gaps or ...

Selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) is a type of light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), which is one such 3D imaging technique employing a thin sheet of light to illuminate cleared ...

Scientists categorize most imaging methods into two major types: label-free and fluorescence microscopy. However, these techniques do not exist in isolation, as the majority of fluorescence ...

Cells In A New Light By combining the sensitivity of fluorescent dyes with optical systems that can detect colorful but low-intensity fluorescent light, researchers in many life sciences are able to ...

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 ...

descSPIM enables three-dimensional imaging of diverse tissues like neural cells and cancerous tumors. The widespread dissemination and adoption of descSPIM can accelerate biomedical discoveries. Three ...

Mitochondrial outer membrane imaged with SPIFFI (L) vs widefield microscopy (R). A new fluorescence microscopy technique promises to create super-resolution images from a single exposure and give ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the seventeenth century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and ...
