In recent years, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy has become an important method for studying molecular interactions near the cell surface. To accommodate the trend of the ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists can add an extra dimension to their confocal microscopy experiments by measuring photon arrival times using fluorescence lifetime imaging methods. From improving confocal image quality to ...

The SFU/MBB Microscopy Facility provides access to a comprehensive suite of advanced confocal microscopy platforms enabling high-resolution imaging for a wide range of biological applications, from ...

Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...
