To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

The researchers observed that light activated the enzyme, causing predictable cell movements. For example, specific light ...

Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start ...

The research team achieved this by targeting all the proteins in the cell with small molecules that subsequently link up with other compounds under light to produce large ... A standard benchtop ...

These microscopes use visible light and one or more lenses to magnify ... microscopists obtained the first micrographs of cell structures. Under ideal conditions, an optical microscope enables ...

Scientists need sharp tools to peek into the tiny world of biology, and fluorescence microscopy has been a game-changer ...

Dr. James Lim, associate professor of pediatrics at UBC’s faculty of medicine, observes pediatric cancer cells grown in a chicken egg under a microscope.

making tiny details easier to see under a standard microscope. So, instead of a zoomed-in picture where individual elements may become blurred or distorted, the physical size of the cells ...

To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as ...

then began to produce light-sensitive GEF enzymes on their own. In experiments, the researchers then placed each enzyme-infused egg cell under a microscope and shone light onto the cell in ...
