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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Engineers are developing their FlatScope as a fluorescent microscope able to capture three-dimensional data and produce images from anywhere within the field. Lenses are no longer necessary for some ...

A synchrotron is a circular particle accelerator. Charged particles (electrons) are accelerated through many magnets in the device until they exceed the speed of light. These particles produce a ...

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 ...

A device that can convert a smartphone or tablet into a fluorescence microscope for less than US $50 is presented in a proof-of-principle study in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that the ...

Light microscopy does much what the name implies: visible light and magnifying lenses are used to view small objects. Light microscopes are the oldest form of higher quality imaging devices, dating ...

This Nikon Ti-U is an inverted widefield epifluorescence microscope with both fluorescence and color imaging (RGB, histology). For fluorescence, this microscope uses an Excelitas Excite 100-watt metal ...
