Although various optical sectioning techniques (confocal, two-photon, structured illumination, and light sheet microscopy) have been developed to address these challenges, each method adheres to ...

Optical sectioning is the process by which a suitably designed microscope can produce clear images of focal planes deep within a thick sample. This is used to reduce the need for thin sectioning using ...

LightSheet microscopy is a fluorescence technique that projects a thin ‘sheet’ of excitation light perpendicular to the ... you would in a traditional epifluorescence microscope. The result is an ...

The optical light microscope MeF4M is used for examination of flat surfaces and for examination of materiallographic and metallographic sections. This research into the microstructure of materials. In ...

While confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light to generate the optical section, a multi-photon (or 2-photon) microscope uses a pulsed infrared laser to stimulate fluorescence ...

Lightsheet imaging is a fluorescence microscopy technique with an intermediate optical resolution but good optical sectioning capabilities and high ... live samples because the intensity of the light ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish ...

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light ...

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a microscopy technique widely used to investigate cells. Even though earlier biomedical ...

In turn, there are now a lot of optical ... a laser microscope. This build requires two DVD pickups. By scanning once horizontally and once vertically and measuring the returning light from ...

1800s - the optical quality of lenses increased and the microscopes are similar to the ones we use today. Throughout their development, the magnification of light microscopes has increased ...
