Conventional light microscopy has been instrumental for the study of cells and microorganisms; fluorescence microscopy has enabled visualization of even smaller cell features by selectively adding ...

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 ...

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 ...

A synchrotron is a circular particle accelerator. Charged particles (electrons) are accelerated through many magnets in the device until they exceed the speed of light. These particles produce a ...

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 ...

Two-photon microscopy is a type of fluorescence microscopy that, rather than exciting the sample with a single photon, makes use of multiple photons. The advantage over more traditional one-photon ...

A Simple Touchscreen Fluorescence Cell Imager Improves Workflow for Routine Applications Whether it’s for gaining a better understanding of how cells work, studying the effects of drugs or toxins on ...

A device that can convert a smartphone or tablet into a fluorescence microscope for less than US $50 is presented in a proof-of-principle study in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that the ...
