Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical ...

Microscopes magnify light. It makes sense that having more light reflecting off of the subject will result in a better magnified image. And so we come to Aziz! Light! It’s [Steve’s] LED light ...

The Center is outfitted with an array of Zeiss and Nikon light microscopes that are equipped for various LM techniques. These techniques include brightfield (transmitted and reflected), phase contrast ...

It will just become blurry. The resolution of a light microscope is around 0.2 μm, or 200 nm. This means that it cannot distinguish two points closer than 200 nm. One nm, or nanometre ...

Marianas Light Sheet (MLS) (Chelsea) The MLS is a Dual-View inverted Single Plane Illumination Microscope (DiSPIM) that uses a Gaussian light sheet. Because it is possible to image from two sides this ...

When selecting a microscope, it’s important to consider various features, such as the field of view, frame construction, lighting, optical quality and resolution. There are several types of ...

An infrared microscope designed by a University of Iowa team led by Thomas Folland helped produce information that could help ...

This microscope was also comfortable to use ... because of the lower and upper light options. The lower light was necessary to view subcellular structures and adaptations, as required when ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

The Zeiss LSM 780 is a multi-purpose, visible light confocal laser scanning microscope. It is equipped with a 34 channel ... allows extremely high resolution files from large fields of view. Learn ...
