While fuorescence has become the dominant mode in biological microscopy nowadays for its high molecular contrast, the capability of other modes based on scattering, polarization, and interference, and ...

For decades, a laboratory procedure known as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to test for asbestos in samples taken at construction sites. Researchers at the University of Warsaw's ...

An increasing understanding of how materials crystallize has transformed modern science and technology, from display technologies such as LCDs to solar panels and the analysis of biological samples to ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

The Cell Imaging Center houses two types of confocal microscopes: the Olympus FV1000 and the Zeiss LSM700. In confocal microscopy, laser light is focused into a very small spot and is scanned across ...
