Research is very much part of Barbara Malheiros' DNA. As part of her PhD research, she placed DNA on the surface of tiny particles to help them stick ...

The training programme includes a full-day induction to working in the Museum, including health and safety, security, IT, library and laboratory procedures. This day is an introduction to the work and ...

Incredible images created by our scientists using advanced microscopes are helping to drive biological discovery ...

This technique was later extended to subcellular scales with development of confocal light absorption and scattering spectroscopic (CLASS) microscopy for label-free subcellular functional imaging, ...

All the latest science news on confocal microscope from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Confocal Raman microscopy, a highly specific and label-free technique for the microscale study of thick samples, often presents difficulties due to weak Raman signals. Inhomogeneous samples introduce ...

Ultraviolet has very short and energetic wavelengths that are shorter than violet on the visible spectrum. But can people see UV?

Figure 1 Confocal (logarithmic greyscale) and non-confocal quadrant-detection (Q1–Q4) images recorded simultaneously from the right eye of a 31-year-old X-linked retinitis pigmentosa patient. Light ...

Thus, it evenly distributes light across a wide plane which results in a lower-resolution image. Confocal microscopes are used to better understand relationships between the structure and function of ...
