Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical ...

The Milestones aim to highlight the most influential developments in light microscopy in a series of short articles, each describing a major achievement. Nature Milestones in Light Microscopy also ...

State-of-the-art microscopy is a vital tool in understanding the critical mechanisms of cell growth and division. We provide the latest in live cell imaging technology, enabling scientists at The ...

To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as ...

The conventional concept of image, which applies, for example, to light microscopy, is that of a spatial display of local variations in the absorption of light. This cannot be applied to the ...

The Brandeis Light Microscopy facility provides instrumentation, training, and support for faculty and trainees in the acquisition and analysis of data using state of the art imaging equipment. Here, ...

An infrared microscope designed by a University of Iowa team led by Thomas Folland helped produce information that could help ...

An open access facility that offers a range of microscopes including confocal, widefield and deconvolution systems and more specialised systems for super-resolution and lightsheet microscopy. Our ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller features, and electron microscopy resolves small structures, but samples ...

2 scanning electron microscopes (SEM), 2 transmission electron microscopes (TEM), 2 laser scanning confocal microscopes,1 deconvolution light microscope, 1 wide-field multimode light microscope, and 1 ...

This microscope has a carry handle built into the body that is small enough for a child to carry comfortably, and it is light enough for an adult to carry with one hand. Sadly, though, this handle ...
