Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a sophisticated optical technique that measures the decay rate of fluorescence emission from biological specimens, providing detailed insights into ...

Removing a patient's tumor while sparing healthy tissue requires exquisite precision, but often surgeons must rely on their eyes and hands to determine where to cut. A team led by researchers from ...

Scientists can add an extra dimension to their confocal microscopy experiments by measuring photon arrival times using fluorescence lifetime imaging methods. From improving confocal image quality to ...

Leica Microsystems has unveiled TauSTED Xtend, a development of the company's TauSTED super-resolution platform intended to allow multicolor live cell imaging at nanoscale resolution. The platform ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

SIMIP enables high-resolution images rich in both chemical and spatial information. A quantum cascade laser (QCL) excites molecular vibrations while a spatial light modulator (SLM) generates striped ...

Some combinations are more durable than others. In recent years, an interdisciplinary team of Cornell researchers has been pairing microbes with quantum dots, with the goal of creating nano-biohybrid ...
