Confocal technology is one of the most important advances in optical microscopy, and many disciplines within Texas A&M AgriLife and other parts of The Texas A&M University System are discovering it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for ...

A new Nikon AXR Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope purchased by the CWRU Center for Excellence on the Impact of Substance Use on HIV, led by Alan Levine, PhD, is available for use by trained faculty.

Scientists use confocal microscopy to study intracellular organization, structures, and dynamics in 3D. Selecting a microscope platform for a research project can be challenging because different ...

To push confocal imaging to an unprecedented level of performance, scientists have invented a 'kitchen sink' confocal platform that borrows solutions from other high-powered imaging systems, adds a ...

In the mid-1950s, Princeton University researcher Marvin Minsky sought a way to increase signal-to-noise when imaging central nervous system samples. Because CNS tissue is very dense and scatters ...

The inverted Nikon spinning disk confocal microscope is equipped with four laser lines (405, 488, 561, and 647 nm), 4x-40x air objective lenses, and 60x NA1.40 and 100x NA1.45 oil objective lenses.

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 ...
