Imaging at ‘LightSpeed:’ Novel EMCCD Camera Mode Brings Speed and Flexibility to Super-Resolution Imaging
Imagine trying to photograph a cheetah running at full-speed without moving your camera. It sounds tedious, but it’s the kind of handicap many researchers face when imaging high-speed molecular events in super resolution, such as virus-cell interactions or neuron firings. Current scientific cameras offer high-speed acquisition rates, but many limit you to preset regions within…
Imaging at the Edge: Improve Multiphoton TIRF Imaging Sensitivity with Titanium:Sapphire Laser Pulse Shaping
Advances in microscopy have allowed cell biologists to catalogue many subcellular processes in great detail. Optical microscopes are even capable of imaging and tracking single molecules. However, the weak signals of single molecules and complications like autofluorescence, out-of-focus fluorescence, or secondary excitation can make discerning these individual molecules from the background impossible. Total Internal Reflection…
Imaging The World’s Brightest Luminescent Protein With Photometrics Evolve
Optogenetics was named as ‘Method of the Year’ by Nature Methods in 2010. This technique utilizes both optics and genetics to control and examine the activity of individual neurons in living tissue. Today, laboratories worldwide are using this technique to examine everything from neurodegenerative diseases to decision making, often with remarkable results. Stimulating, but interfering…
