Comparing Microscopy Techniques: This image contrasts conventional fluorescent microscopy with STORM processing, highlighting how STORM achieves superior resolution by activating and precisely ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more effectively than before, including responses to drugs and changes in cellular ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

In recent years, fluorescence quenching microscopy (FQM) 1-3 has emerged as a viable technique that allows for the swift, cost-effective, and accurate imaging of two-dimensional (2D) materials like ...

BioAFM is seeing increasingly widespread use in biomedical and biological studies due to its extremely high resolution and its capacity to perform experiments with live cells in liquid and under ...

Need a microscope filter set that is geared for popular fluorophores with excellent transmission curves and steep blocking? Omega Optical offers standard filter sets with 25mm round excitation and ...

A colorful close-up image of the optic disc in a rodent’s retina received first place in the annual Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition. Winners Hassanain Qambari and Jayden Dickson took ...
