Combining Light-sheet Microscopy and Single Molecule Spectroscopy

Researchers can now watch molecules move in living cells, literally millisecond by millisecond, thanks to a new microscope developed by scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. Published online in Nature Biotechnology, the new technique provides insights into processes that were so far invisible.

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. moreDec. 21, 2009

Cell Adhesion on Micro-Nanostructured Surfaces

Motivation:
Many aspects of cellular adhesion to the surrounding, the extracellular matrix (ECM), are of great interest as they control and influence various fundamental cell actions such as motility, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis and hence, even the function of an organism may depend on this complex and highly regulated process. more
