Microscopy is of high interest for biology since it allows imaging features that are too small to
be seen with naked eyes. However, cells are mostly transparent to visible and infrared light
which makes it difficult to see with a traditional microscope. To ...
Photoswitchable mols. have multiple applications in the phys. and life sciences because their properties can be modulated with light. Fluxional mols., which undergo rapid degenerate rearrangements in the electronic ground state, also exhibit switching beha ...
In this article, we describe the method that allows fluorescently tagged structures such as axons to be targeted for electron microscopy (EM) analysis without the need to convert their labels into electron dense stains, introduce any fiducial marks, or ima ...
Photoactivatable fluorophores are important for single-particle tracking and super-resolution microscopy. Here we present a photoactivatable fluorophore that forms a bright silicon rhodamine derivative through a light-dependent protonation. In contrast to ...
The present disclosure concerns a multi-spectral image printing method. The method includes the steps of: - providing a multi-spectral image; - providing a material; - determining changes in a refractive index value of the material permitting to reproduce ...
Multi-spectral imaging allows distinguishing biological structures. For cardiac microscopy, available devices are either too slow or require illumination intensities that are detrimental to the sample. We present a method for spectral super-resolution imag ...
Well-established imaging techniques proved that features below the diffraction limit can be observed optically using so-called super-resolution microscopies, which overcome Abbe's resolution limit. In traditional far-field microscopy, the introduction of f ...
Super-resoln. imaging of living cells can reveal nanoscopic details of live biol. systems. The development of small-mol. fluorophores that allow optimal imaging conditions is the key to enable live-specimen imaging with minimal invasiveness. The authors re ...
We present a dielectric microsphere-based super resolution optical microscope that can image a sample beyond the classical diffraction limit [1]. The super resolution imaging capability of a single microsphere normally is restricted to an area of similar t ...
We report dielectric microsphere array-based optical super-resolution microscopy. A dielectric microsphere that is placed on a sample is known to generate a virtual image with resolution better than the optical diffraction limit. However, a limitation of s ...
