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 ...

Advancing our understanding of the human brain will require new insights into how neural circuitry works in mammals, including laboratory mice. These investigations require monitoring brain activity ...

A new microscopy tool gives neuroscientists a never-before-seen view into the cellular networks underlying behavior. A model of the miniature fluorescent microscope (miniscope). Source: miniscope.org ...

Fluorescence is the foundation of our core. The bulk of instruments available for high resolution imaging at the OiVM are based on fluorescence. Fluorescence microscopy is a type of imaging where the ...

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 ...

Light microscopy does much what the name implies: visible light and magnifying lenses are used to view small objects. Light microscopes are the oldest form of higher quality imaging devices, dating ...

This fluorescent microscopy image shows embryonic mouse neurons (green), astrocytes (red), and cell nuclei (blue). University of Tokyo researchers in the lab of Professor Yukiko Gotoh study the ...

Chip technology presents a whole different view on microscopy. Chips are compact and can integrate multiple functionalities. The scaling possibilities could allow chip-based microscopes to be produced ...

Researchers have recently developed a device that can turn any smartphone into a DNA-scanning fluorescent microscope. If you thought scanning one of those strange, square QR codes with your phone was ...

Science professionals, doctoral and postdoctoral students from across the country will gather May 20 through 27 at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, for an intensive one-week course ...

Fluorescence is the process by which a photon is absorbed, and another of slightly lower energy, and therefore longer wavelength, is subsequently emitted. Under normal circumstances, the electrons of ...
