Light field microscopy (LFM) is an innovative imaging technique that captures three-dimensional (3D) information from biological samples in a single snapshot. This technology has gained ...

Ordered chronologically, the Milestones trace the discoveries in the field of light microscopy from 1595 to 2006. Each Milestone is dated in the timeline according to the year of publication of ...

LightSheet microscopy is a fluorescence technique that projects a thin ‘sheet’ of excitation light perpendicular to the direction of observation. This type of a system uses cylindrical optics to focus ...

In confocal microscopy, laser light is focused into a very small spot and is scanned across the specimen to reconstitute a 2D image. This is in contrast to wide-field microscopes in which the entire ...

The Advanced Light Microscopy and Innovation Lab (ALMIL) supports MSK researchers by advancing the use of cutting-edge imaging techniques to study complex biological systems. As a specialized hub, ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

The IMC covers most basic techniques for live and fixed specimens, in brightfield/color and fluorescence (from ~400nm to ~720nm). For high quality bright field microscopy, a Nikon Eclipse CiL upright ...

Our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art facility, expertise, and education in advanced quantitative light microscopy to support Drexel University’s research community The Cell Imaging Center (CIC ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

"However, these approaches result in imperfect light beams, making them unsuitable for super-resolution or wide-field microscopy. "Performing advanced microscopy in a hair-thin fiber will reveal a ...

There's three types of microscope: light, like this one here, and two types of electron microscopes, like those ones over there. Light microscopes use light and mirrors and can see things as small ...

The scattered light, on the other hand ... These could easily be retrofitted with an aperture to enable dark-field microscopy ...
