Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM or LSCM) is a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions. The key feature of confocal microscopy is its ability to produce ...

The Nikon Small World contest highlights the best microscope images taken each year.; The 2019 contest attracted more than 2,000 entries from nearly 100 countries. This year's top image is a ...

We’ve all likely seen the amazing images possible with a scanning electron microscope. An SEM can yield remarkably detailed 3D images of the tiniest structures, and they can be invaluable tools ...

The image is actually a composite of many individual images taken with a confocal microscope. Confocals only capture light from a single plane of focus, so each individual image is like an optical ...

Called a “confocal” microscope because of the optical technology it employs, the new Leica SP8 is a versatile, user-friendly device that gives Bates a variety of important new or improved imaging ...

Confocal microscopy 3D images of adhesive tape with paper backing; the adhesive layer of the tape is in red, while the paper backing is invisible; a gel filled with the nanostructured fluid (green ...

New confocal technique offers images of working neurons. 26 Mar 2019. Boston University project helps reveal complex brain functions in living animals. ... "Our method benefits from the contrast of ...

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features and… ...

He used a confocal microscope to peer at the 0.12-inch (3 mm) embryonic hand, which he prepared with whole-mount fluorescent staining and tissue clearing, which turned the tissues transparent.

Some are basic snapshots through a microscope. Others, like Ruiz’s winning shot, use confocal microscopy—a method that captures slices of the object at different depths.

I built a 3D printed, scanning laser confocal microscope so I could collect 3D surface topology and profilometry data! The microscope stage is based on an OpenFlexure "Delta" stage, and the ...
