Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy Analysis Introduced by Kavita Aswani

Most experiments need to be repeated at least three times for data accuracy and statistical significance. Whether you are using a lamp system, LED or laser source, measuring the illumination power is a critical step in ensuring consistent conditions. In this short video presentation, Dr. Kavita Aswani is introducing a power measurement system enabling consistent and repeatable illumination throughout research experiments.   more

Growing Nanolasers on Silicon

Growing Nanolasers on Silicon: Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have found a way to grow nanolasers directly onto a silicon surface, an achievement that could lead to a new class of faster, more efficient microprocessors, as well as to powerful biochemical sensors that use optoelectronic chips. They describe their work in a paper published Feb. 6 in the online issue of the journal Nature Photonics.

Dual wavelength excitation source

CoolLED's new combined pE-100 package offers increased functionality for 2-wavelength excitation applications. The pE-Combiner offers the ability to use two pE-100 LED sources for dual staining applications. A number of pE-Combiners can be used to support multiple LED wavelengths on the microscope. Several pE-Combiners can be used together to increase the number of LED wavelengths. more

Light Sources for Epifluorescence Microscopy

If one could „bake" an ideal light source for widefield epifluorescence microscopy, the recipe would include many ingredients of the LED-based solutions which have recently hit the market: they are compact, long-lived and stable, they can be turned on and off in microseconds, their intensity is easily controlled and they are reasonably bright when large areas are to be illuminated under a microscope. Nevertheless, there are still many areas where arc lamps are a better choice. more
Fluorescence Microscope for High Sensitivity

Fluorescence Microscope for High Sensitivity

For the three „global killer diseases", HIV/ AIDS, TB and Malaria, fast and reliable diagnosis is crucial for modern laboratory practices. In resource-limited settings, for example, TB is diagnosed by using sputum smears with microscopy for which fluorescence based microscopic techniques have shown to be much more sensitive than transmitted light microscopy, where M. tuberculosis bacilli in a significant number of cases are not seen. more

Dedicated Point-of-Care

Malaria - caused by Plasmodium sp. and spread to humans by species of tropical mosquitoes (Anopheles sp.) - is endemic in 107 countries with 3.2 billion people and therefore one of the most dangerous diseases worldwide. Despite the fact that Malaria is preventable and treatable, according to WHO 300-500 million people are infected by Malaria every year, with far more than 1 million death cases annually - including one child every 30 seconds. A safe, easy, and in particular rapid diagnostic test is of great importance for Malaria treatment. more
