Storming the Barriers of Light

Live cell imaging is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of life science research. The more researchers see, the more they want to see and this is driving innovation in imaging technologies to see deeper, clearer and faster. While light is the fundamental enabling factor in optical microscopy, light can also create significant barriers when trying to image biological samples. Visible light, for example, cannot pass easily through living tissue and is scattered, preventing it from reaching areas of interest in thicker specimens. moreJan. 13, 2010

Dynamic Live Cell and Deep Tissue Imaging

Nikon Instruments has launched the A1R MP Multiphoton and Confocal microscope system for high speed, high resolution and high sensitivity multiphoton excitation and confocal fluorescence imaging. The A1R MP allows for deeper, faster and sharper imaging, while remaining cell-friendly with fast resonant imaging at up to 420 fps. more
