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 ...

While a PhD student in the 1980s, I carefully carried a slide of fluorescently labelled cells into a tent of black cloth that occupied a large part of the workshops at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular ...

Embryo quality assessment by optical imaging is increasing in popularity. Among available optical techniques, light sheet microscopy has emerged as a superior alternative to confocal microscopy due to ...

There is a growing demand for non-invasive insights into the complex three-dimensional subcellular dynamics within living tissues on the frontier of biological research. To achieve simultaneous ...

Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

High-speed volumetric imaging is an indispensable tool for investigating dynamic biological processes. Traditional scanning-based 3D imaging techniques, such as confocal microscopy, two-photon ...
