The 19th century poet Gerard Manley Hopkins paid homage to the kingfisher’s brilliant plumage in his poem “As Kingfishers ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

FLIM principles. Schematic overview of fluorescence lifetime data acquisition and analysis in time−domain (td) and frequency−domain (fd) modes. In tdFLIM, photon arrival times are recorded after each ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the efficiency of a terahertz radiation produced at different pumping conditions of a first harmonic (ω0) Gaussian beam coupled with a second harmonic (2ω0) Laguerre-Gaussian ...

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...
