Researchers use laboratory tools every day to help them make groundbreaking discoveries. Read on to find out which ...

Epifluorescent microscopy is capable of generating images of certain fluorescent samples; however, the sample will appear indistinct if the sample reaches a thickness greater than micrometers. This is ...

UIUC's platform, christened Stomata In-Sight, combines laser scanning confocal microscopy, gas exchange instruments and machine-learning image analysis, to simultaneously observe anatomical ...

Super-resolution microscopy can come in different forms, but structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is one of the more common approaches. In this technique, grid projections are used to increase the ...

The first major benefit of confocal microscopes is the level of detail which can be achieved. With an already impressive horizontal resolution of 0.2 microns and vertical resolution of 0.5 confocal ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional optical and digital products for medicine, science, and industry, Olympus celebrates 100 years of innovation in 2019. Olympus provides ...

For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features and ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM or LSCM) is a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions. The key feature of confocal microscopy is its ability to produce blur ...
