Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

The leading scientific social networking website and producer of educational virtual events and webinars.

A research team has developed an operando reflection interference microscope (RIM) that provides a better understanding of how batteries work, which has significant implications for the next ...

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is a method that resolves molecular events specifically at or near the cell surface (see How It Works). Major microscope manufacturers, ...

A laser microscopy technique that is able to image brain tissues lying beneath the skull has been demonstrated. Neuroscientists frequently use mice as model animals to investigate neural processes.

Have you ever wanted to analyze your own blemishes at nanometer resolution? Send rays of helium atoms to smash into specimens of your choosing? Look at a biological sample under a microscope without ...

TIRFM is a sophisticated fluorescent microscope that allows a user to visualize a very small region of a specimen. TIRFM utilizes optics to produce light at the interface of the slide. This technique ...
