Other capabilities are a specimen position memory function ... The Center is outfitted with an array of Zeiss and Nikon light microscopes that are equipped for various LM techniques. These techniques ...

The lattice light-sheet microscope sweeps an ultrathin sheet of light through a specimen, illuminating only that part in the microscope’s plane of focus. That helps out-of-focus areas stay dark, ...

Introductory and advanced training in light microscopy is provided on an as needed ... This course provides hands-on experience from initial SEM specimen preparation, microscope usage and data ...

The difference with a transmission electron microscope is that it sees through things. It does this by sending beams of electrons, rather than light, through ultra-thin specimens. Using these ...

Since the wavelength of an electron is much smaller than that of visible light, scanning electron microscopes are capable of imaging ... onto the surface of a specimen. The group of lenses contained ...

“It’s almost unheard of for anyone to design a new objective lens for light microscopy and we have done this to try to accommodate the new types of specimens that biologists want to study ...

The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image ... The SEM has allowed researchers to examine a much bigger variety of specimens. The scanning electron microscope has ...

Both electron and light microscopy advanced in the 20th century. Today, labs may use fluorescent tags or polarized filters to view specimens, or they use computers to capture and analyze images ...
