Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

Several advanced techniques have been used for 3D micro-surface profiling, such as white light interferometry, confocal microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. However, a major technological ...

While a PhD student in the 1980s, I carefully carried a slide of fluorescently labelled cells into a tent of black cloth that occupied a large part of the workshops at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular ...

The world of laser scanning microscopy is quickly evolving, thanks to the advent of fast and compact detector arrays. These arrays replace the typical single-element detector of traditional confocal ...

There are obvious differences between cancerous cells and normal cells in morphology, chemical properties and mechanical properties. The detection of cytochemical and mechanical properties of tumor ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...
