When it comes to analyzing living cells, challenging biological samples and thick, multilayer tissue samples require purposefully designed instrumentation. BioAFMs are ideal when it comes to these ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

Schematic of the imaging process. Incoherent light, modulated by the DMD, is directed into the microscope and focused onto the sample plane by the objective lens, creating structured illumination for ...

About six years ago, Claire Ang, a graduate student in stem cell biologist Kara McKinley’s lab at Harvard University, first observed the mouse uterine tissue under a microscope and fell in love with ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

The laser you see in the photo above may one day enhance images taken by the most powerful microscopes in biology. This advancement, detailed in a paper published in eLife from scientists at ...

Most amateurs don't know how to hit an intentional draw or fade with the driver. They try to hit every ball dead straight, which is by far the hardest shot to play. Of the three shots, the draw is the ...

How many photons are in a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)? More than you may have thought. The illumination required to excite fluorophores leads to their gradual photodegradation, a phenomenon known ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...
