Epifluorescent microscopy is capable of generating images of certain fluorescent samples; however, the sample will appear indistinct if the sample reaches a thickness greater than micrometers. This is ...

The first major benefit of confocal microscopes is the level of detail which can be achieved. With an already impressive horizontal resolution of 0.2 microns and vertical resolution of 0.5 confocal ...

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features and ...

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional optical and digital products for medicine, science, and industry, Olympus celebrates 100 years of innovation in 2019. Olympus provides ...

Super-resolution microscopy can come in different forms, but structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is one of the more common approaches. In this technique, grid projections are used to increase the ...

With increased use of screening CT for early detection of lung cancer, many more cases of suspicious lung nodules are being identified. However, differentiation of benign from malignant lung nodules ...

Bulbs frequently need replacing, which can be a challenge when accessing the lamp housing of a large confocal system. Moreover, the alignment required after replacing a bulb each time is tricky. LEDs ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM or LSCM) is a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions. The key feature of confocal microscopy is its ability to produce blur ...

The Olympus FluoView FV1000 Confocal Microscope is a laser scanning biological microscope. It minimizes specimen damage during high-speed imaging of living organisms. It accurately captures a full ...
