The Confocal Microscopy and Image Analysis Core provides instrumentation and expertise to support the acquisition, processing and analysis of both fluorescence and bright-field micrographs captured ...

As [Zachary Tong] points out, confocal scanning microscopy uses a clever optical setup to collect light from a single, well-defined point within a sample; rather than getting an image of all the ...

Confocal microscopy confers the ability to optically section a specimen and isolate light coming from a confined slice when forming an image. When coupled with advanced high-speed scanning ...

According to the researchers, the ability to view whole specimens in a single image could assist in the study of many biological processes and ensure that important details are not overlooked.

By scanning the laser point-by-point across the sample, an image is generated pixel-by-pixel, to produce an incredibly detailed digital rendering of the object under observation. The use and necessity ...

While the three-color labeling provides a good amount of data by itself, reflectance confocal microscopy can add yet another layer of useful information. By using four channels simultaneously to image ...

WITec’s alpha300 R confocal Raman microscope series pioneered advanced ... components enable Raman spectra to be recorded at each image pixel with acquisition times on the order of milliseconds.

Recently, Nikon released the AX and AX R confocal microscope systems ... which can then be used for image processing. This makes it possible to acquire higher-contrast 3D images than traditional ...

The basic scheme here is known as confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, where a laser ... Light emitted by the tags is collected, and a 3D image is built up from multiple scans of ...
