Minutes matter when a surgeon is deciding how much tissue to remove. Yet for centuries, medical imaging has leaned on stains ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. To ensure that the tissue ...

(Nanowerk News) Microscopes have revolutionized the practice of science, especially in the fields of biology and medicine. Just a few hundred years ago, gaining the ability to study what was ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognisable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is ...

For centuries, biological imaging has relied on dyes and fluorescent labels to visualize cellular structures -- a practice that not only alters samples but can delay critical medical decisions.

Sensing: point-of-care sensors, mobile-phone enabled sensors, field-based sensing and measurement systems with applications in mobile health and telemedicine, environmental monitoring (for example, ...

The Histology portion of the Histology, Microscopy and Imaging module does embedding and sectioning of tissue samples, usually of very precise areas (for example the optic nerve), as well as ...

Brightfield microscopy has been widely used for hundreds of years, while reflection contrast microscopy is relatively new technology. As one of the earliest and simplest microscopy techniques, ...
