The basic scheme here is known as confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, where a laser at one wavelength excites fluorescent tags bound to structures in a sample.

Confocal microscopy is a non-invasive method of optical imaging that may provide microscopic images of untreated tissue that correspond almost perfectly to hematoxylin- and eosin-stained slides.

Confocal Microscopy Core The Department of Biology at Saint Louis University offers a Leica SP8 confocal microscope with resonant scanner for academic and commercial use. Live-cell imaging can be ...

Taken with a confocal microscope, this image shows two adjacent neurons filled red and green fluorescent dye. The image, says Bates neuroscientist Nancy Kleckner, can tell researchers if the cells are ...

The Pathology Core laboratory is equipped with a Nikon E-1000 upright fluorescent microscope equipped with 4x, 10x, 20x and 40x dry objectives and 40x and 60x oil immersion objectives. The microscope ...

In life sciences, confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) is widely regarded for producing high-resolution cellular images. However, it requires fluorescent staining, which poses risks of ...

This protocol describes the steps needed to perform quantitative statistical colocalization on two-color confocal images, specifically of plant cells. The procedure includes a calibration test to ...

MAICO makes confocal fluorescence imaging more available as an entry-level model or as a sub-model of a high-end confocal fluorescence microscope. Image Credit: Hamamatsu Photonics Europe.

This method can be applied to wide-field fluorescence microscopes and confocal systems. Certain confocal arrangements acquire a “lambda stack” for each image plane, essentially providing spectral ...

Confocal microscopes (and related instruments such as Two-Photon) are often used for the most rigorous quantitative fluorescence microscopy measurements. Most confocal users are aware of the basic ...

Vutara’s microscope was added to Bruker’s existing portfolio, which already included confocal fluorescence and atomic force microscopes. Vutara’s microscope also had capabilities for ...
