In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

This protocol describes a method combining phase-contrast and fluorescence microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and optical tweezers to characterize the germination of single bacterial spores. The ...

When using an electron microscope, having your samples fried or explode isn’t quite the result one wants. But for Professor Paul Dastoor, this was an all-too-common problem. In his work on organic and ...

In this Insights from Industry interview, Benoît Dagon, CEO of Imina Technologies, talks to Will Soutter about their miBot range of manipulators for microscope sample characterization. Imina ...

In the field of microplastics' quantification, efficient and reproducible methodology is still needed. Procedures of sample fractionation and transfer are often insufficiently reported, although ...

Researchers in Finland have created a hand-and-finger gesture-controlled microscope. The method is a combination of two technologies: web-based virtual microscopy and a giant-size multitouch display.

The Temperature Controlled Sample Holder has been developed by Phenom-World and Deben in order to study vacuum sensitive and vulnerable samples, like biological, food or organic coatings. The ...

Digital image processing is commonly used in plant health and growth analysis, aiming to improve research efficiency and repeatability. One focus is analysing the morphology of stomata, with the aim ...
