In TIRF microscopy, fluorescent molecules are in a sample in an aqueous environment that is near a solid with a high refractive index, usually a glass coverslip. At what is called the critical angle, ...

TIRFM is a sophisticated fluorescent microscope that allows a user to visualize a very small region of a specimen. TIRFM utilizes optics to produce light at the interface of the slide. This technique ...

Reflection-contrast microscopy is a type of light microscopy that can be used to analyze single cells, biopsies, and other small objects. In contrary to most light microscopy techniques, ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Noninvasive diagnostic methods such as dermoscopy and confocal reflectance microscopy may have utility in ...

Visualizing tissues and neurons inside an animal's skull has long been a challenge for biophotonics techniques, thanks to the skull's thickness and the complex structures inside. A team at the ...

The DeltaVision OMX V4 enables Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRF). This technique uses an evanescent wave to selectively excite fluorophores that are close to the coverslip. This ...
