A confocal microscope is a kind of fluorescent microscope used to obtain high-quality 2D and 3D images. The device is most commonly used to view cells and cell structures, but can be used to ...

Resembling fluorescent flower petals, this image shows the blood vessels in a mouse retina, as seen using confocal microscopy ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Abstract: We report the time kinetics of fluorescently labeled microbubbles (MBs) in capillary-level microvasculature as measured via confocal microscopy and compare these results to ultrasound ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is typically associated with severe fibrosis, the exact pathogenesis of which remains unclear.

The well-studied NF-κB signaling system is a key mediator of the inflammatory response. Large-scale sequencing studies in ...

Images were acquired every 2.5 s on a Nikon Eclipse Ti spinning disk confocal microscope with a 100×1.45-NA Plan-Apochromat oil-immersion objective and an Andor DU-888 X11056 camera.

This is a valuable and rigorous study that addresses the question of what determines the spatial organization of endocytic zones at synapses. The authors use compelling approaches, in both Drosophila ...

Some 45 labs in the prestigious sciences center were damaged and might take years -- and tens of millions -- to rebuild.

SignatureSPM is the first microscope developed on a multimodal characterization platform. It integrates an automated atomic force microscope (AFM) with a Raman/Photoluminescence spectrometer to enable ...
