Imaging Motile Malaria Parasites

Cell motility is an essential process for most uni- and multi-cellular forms of life. The study of evolutionary ancient and thus divergent cells can yield interesting insights into our very basic understanding of molecular processes conferring cellular motility. The Plasmodium sporozoite represents a unique cell that migrates in vitro in near perfect circles due to its crescent shape. This allows the combination of high throughput imaging with reverse genetics to dissect how these cells move. more

Synchrotron X-rays from a Tabletop - Highly Energetic, Bright and Spatially Coherent

Since their discovery in 1896 [1], x-rays have fundamentally revolutionized science, medicine and technology. Each successive generation of x-ray machines has opened up new frontiers in science, such as the first radiographs and the determination of the structure of DNA. State-of-the-art x-ray sources, such as synchrotrons, can now produce coherent high-brightness beams of x-rays with energies greater than kiloelectronvolt, which promise a new revolution in imaging complex systems on the nanometer and femtosecond scale. more

Princeton Instruments Launches EMCCD Camera for Spectroscopy

Princeton Instruments introduced a EMCCD camera solution for spectroscopy applications. The ProEM:1600 camera features 16 micron pixels in both 1600 x 200 and 1600 x 400 formats. It utilizes eXcelon technology which reduces the interference fringes that have made back-thinned EMCCDs unusable in the NIR regions. more
Electrochemical Impedance Microscopy

Electrochemical Impedance Microscopy

Electrochemical Impedance Microscopy was developed due to the need for refined imaging methods for fundamental research and biomedical applications related to the study of disease. Since many important biological phenomena still elude the precision of even the most sensitive tools, despite the sophistication and range of contemporary microscopy techniques. The group's research appears in the issue of the journal Nature Chemistry. more

Super Resolution Microscopy

Super Resolution Microscopy made it possible that Australian scientists have for the first time caught malaria parasites in the act of invading red blood cells. The researchers, from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), achieved this long-held aim using a combination of electron, light and super resolution microscopy, a technology platform new to Australia. more
