Upconverting Nanocrystals to Track Proteins in Live Cells

Understanding how a protein moves around a cell helps researchers understand the protein's function and the cellular mechanisms for making and processing proteins. This information also helps researchers study disease, which at a cellular level may mean that a protein is malfunctioning, stops being made, or is sent to the wrong part of the cell. But nanoparticle probes that are too big can disrupt a protein's normal activities. moreSep. 29, 2011

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
