Confocal microscopy offers several advantages over conventional widefield optical microscopy, including the ability to control depth of field, elimina...

Live Cell Imaging

Cell biologists are increasingly using live-cell imaging techniques to provide clues into the fundamental nature of cellular and tissue structure and...

Photobleaching Techniques/ FRAP-Fluorescence Recovery After...

Photobleaching techniques are used as a strategy to reveal the diffusion/binding dynamics of molecules or the exchange between compartments in live ce...

FRET- Förster Resonance Energy Transfer

Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is a process where an excited fluorophore (donor)transfers energy to another fluorophore (acceptor) [1]. Reso...

Photobleaching Techniques/ FLIP-Fluorescence Loss In Photobl...

This technique is used to study the diffusion of molecules among different connected/communicated cell compartments. A fluorescent cell is repeatedly...

Photoactivation PA-FPs

Photoactivatable fluorescent proteins (PAFPs) exhibit fluorescence that can be modified by a light-induced chemical reaction. Many PAFPs have been eng...

Wide Field Fluorescence Microscopy

Conventional fluorescence excitation, upright or inverted, incl. Hg lamp, Metal-Halide or LED illumination.

Laser Microdissection & Catapulting
