A confocal microscope is a kind of fluorescent microscope used to obtain high-quality 2D and 3D images. The device is most commonly used to view cells and cell structures, but can be used to ...

VCSELs offer a third option compared with conventional light emitting diodes (LEDS) and edge-emitting laser diodes (EELs).

A recent study from INL successfully combined two cutting-edge 3D tissue engineering technologies - 3D polymeric scaffolds ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Today's super-resolution microscopes have made it possible to observe the nanoscale world with unprecedented detail. However, they require fluorescent tags, which reveal structural details but provide ...

The study investigates an emerging research field: the interaction between sleep and development. The authors use Drosophila larvae sleep as a study model and provide valuable insight into how ...

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has ...

Imagine tiny building toy pieces that automatically snap together to form a strong, flat sheet. Then, scientists add special chemical 'hooks' to these sheets to attach glowing molecules called ...

The new confocal chromatic confocalDT IFC2411 and 2416 controllers can perform distance and thickness measurements.

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has extended its confocalDT range of confocal chromatic measurement systems with two ...

Fluorescence imaging is the visualization ... and detection of elementary Ca 2+ release in cardiomyocytes. Light sheet microscopy with curved light sheets enables tiling-free imaging of an entire ...

Single-molecule fluorescence experiments involve the study of individual fluorescent molecules, and can provide information that would be hidden in measurements involving a large number of molecules.
