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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microscopy platforms able to monitor large populations of cells in living specimens are increasingly vital for understanding neuronal activity, but scanning microscope technologies with micron-scale ...

We’ve all likely seen the amazing images possible with a scanning electron microscope. An SEM can yield remarkably detailed 3D images of the tiniest structures, and they can be invaluable tools for ...

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 ...

The Cell Imaging Center houses two types of confocal microscopes: the Olympus FV1000 and the Zeiss LSM700. In confocal microscopy, laser light is focused into a very small spot and is scanned across ...

Confocal microscopy is providing new and exciting opportunities for imaging cell structure and physiology in thick biological specimens, in three dimensions, and in time. The utility of confocal ...

The spinning disc, laser scanning confocal, and multiphoton microscopes at the BIU. The multiphoton techniques include: two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF), second harmonic generation (SHG), third ...
