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. moreNov. 01, 2005

Two Photon Activation and Excitation of Photoactivatable GFP

Two Photon Activation and Excitation of Photoactivatable GFP. M. Schneider and co-workers test the properties of photoactivatable GFP, a fluorescent protein that changes its excitation spectrum after activation in the near UV, for multiphoton imaging. The protein is activatable in the two photon range between 720 to 840 nm and upon activation changes its excitably to longer wavelengths. more
