Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique originally developed to assess the physical ... assistant professor at the ...

Researchers at the University of Kentucky have developed a cost-effective, non-destructive microscopy technique to study cancer cell metabolism at the single-cell level. Published in Biophotonics ...

LightSheet microscopy is a fluorescence technique that projects a thin ‘sheet’ of excitation light perpendicular to the direction of observation. This type of a system uses cylindrical optics to focus ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller ...

which the team patented and named “Unclearing Microscopy,” involves two staining methods. The first uses large stainable polymers to augment the signal, making the cell more visible. The research team ...

Understanding how tumors alter their metabolism to evade treatments is an increasingly important area of cancer research.

While confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light to generate the optical section, a multi-photon (or 2-photon) microscope uses a pulsed infrared laser to stimulate fluorescence ...

In so doing, the technique effectively extends ... direction when soaked in liquid. Expansion microscopy: principles and uses in biological research Late one night in 2012, in the windowless ...

A recent project conducted by in-house researchers at the UK’s national synchrotron facility on its Hard X-ray Nanoprobe beamline, looked at how microplastics waste may interact with zinc oxide ...

In blood cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B cells of the immune system multiply uncontrollably. One form of therapy involves labeling the CD20 protein on the surface of the B cells ...
