The fluorescence-imaging technology in cells allows study the cellular mechanisms of the organelles with multiple imaging approaches. Different fluorescent proteins work as protein tags in detecting ...

A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

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 ...

How many photons are in a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)? More than you may have thought. The illumination required to excite fluorophores leads to their gradual photodegradation, a phenomenon known ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that ...
