How many photons are in a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)? More than you may have thought. The illumination required to excite fluorophores leads to their gradual photodegradation, a phenomenon known ...

A Simple Touchscreen Fluorescence Cell Imager Improves Workflow for Routine Applications Whether it’s for gaining a better understanding of how cells work, studying the effects of drugs or toxins on ...

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

Hamamatsu Photonics has succeeded in creating a technology "that upgrades the spatial resolution of two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy," the company this week stated. Suited to ...

Have you ever wondered about what makes a fluorescent color stand out so brightly from the rest? Today we’re digging into what makes them pop, and we’re going highlight some of the brilliant ...

A research team at the University of Tokyo has built a fluorescence microscopy system that can detect fleeting magnetic reactions inside living biological material, reactions that conventional imaging ...

In recent years, fluorescence quenching microscopy (FQM) 1-3 has emerged as a viable technique that allows for the swift, cost-effective, and accurate imaging of two-dimensional (2D) materials like ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...
