How to Prepare your Specimen for Immunofluorescence Microscopy

Immunofluorescence (IF) specimen preparations can be analyzed by various fluorescence microscopy techniques, depending on the research application. IF is indispensable for researchers using a simple…

Microscopios de campo oscuro

El método de contraste de campo oscuro aprovecha la difracción o dispersión de la luz de las estructuras de un espécimen biológico o las características no uniformes de una muestra de material.

A Guide to Phase Contrast

A phase contrast light microscope offers a way to view the structures of many types of biological specimens in greater contrast without the need of stains.
