This seminar provides an overview of fluorescence microscopy in cancer research and other cell-based applications in the biosciences discovery workflow. In comparison with phase contrast and ...

The use of fluorescent markers/stains to examine cells has become very popular. Fluorescent stains have many advantages over traditional staining dyes. Fluorescent stains do not limit the analysis of ...

Microscopy existed prior to flow cytometry and was an integral part of its development. A fluorescent microscope, in simple terms, is an enhanced light microscope which uses a light of higher ...

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 ...

Crafted from sheets of graphene, graphene quantum dots have extraordinarily unique qualities and have been revolutionizing the field of fluorescence microscopy. Graphene quantum dots are superior to ...

In decades past, researchers and scientists have been constrained by an optical resolution limit—defined over 140 years ago—that established the maximum resolution of an optical system of 200 nm in ...

Ever since a Dutch businessman peered into the microscopic world through his brass and glass contraption in the 1600s, microscopy has had a long, rich history of DIY innovation. This DIY fluorescence ...

Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...
