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 ...

Biomedical researchers are delving ever further into the inner workings of cells, organoids and tissues in an attempt to understand more about health and disease. One of the mainstays of this research ...

This article offers an overview of spinning disk confocal laser microscopy and explains why it is more beneficial than confocal microscopy. In traditional widefield optical microscopy, the sample is ...

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that employs a point light source (laser), which is directed onto the sample. The same objective usually collects the reflected (fluorescence) light ...

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 ...

From confocal, widefield, and live cell imaging to multimode reading, the Agilent BioTek Cytation C10 confocal imaging reader delivers crisp, high-resolution images and the ability to image and ...

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 ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSMs) use a laser to generate a digital image of a given sample. Confocal microscopes work in tandem with ‘fluorescent tagging’, which involves the alteration of ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international team has demonstrated that a confocal Raman spectroscopy (RS) probe could improve the detection of bladder cancer tumors, compared to conventional RS. The confocal technique boosts ...
