Towards Real Time ESEM Imaging of Biological Processes

Historically, electron microscopy of dynamic biological processes has been impossible to achieve in real time because conventional electron microscopy requires specimen fixation, dehydration and metallic coating. The advent of the Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) removed these restrictions, allowing fully hydrated samples to be imaged in their native state. This raises the possibility of secondary electron imaging of dynamic biological processes. Well Suited to Biological Imaging moreMar. 08, 2011

Horiba Scientific Announces the XploRA INV Raman Microscope

Horiba Scientific has launched the XploRA INV, which combines the automation features and small footprint of the standard XploRA confocal Raman microscope with the capabilities of an inverted microscope, especially important for demanding biological applications. moreNov. 30, 2009

Making Light Sound

Optical interrogation of biological tissues offers great variety of intrinsic probing mechanisms as well as highly specific contrast approaches based on tissue-specific expression of fluorescent proteins and extrinsically administered molecular biomarkers. Yet, most of the important living organisms and tissues remain inaccessible by the current optical imaging techniques due to complications arising from intense light scattering in tissues. moreDec. 01, 2008
