The rapid evolution of microscopy techniques has transformed our ability to visualise biological structures and processes at unprecedented resolutions. Advances in live‐cell imaging, super‐resolution ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more ...

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 ...

a. MRA helps resolve the dense actin filaments with SIM imaging. b. MRA helps resolve the mitochondrial cristae cluster with LiveSR imaging. c. SecMRA helps better section the ER tubule structure. d.

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

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 ...

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 ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...
