What’s the Best Organoid Imaging Approach for Early Drug Discovery?

Organoids and other complex in vitro models (CIVMs) are becoming increasingly important in early drug discovery and translational research, driven by the need for more predictive, human-relevant data…
Large field of view (FOV) 2D slices of a 1 mm diameter midbrain neural organoid stained with DAPI (blue, nuclear stain), β-tubulin (green, neuronal stain), and GFAP (red, astrocyte stain). Acquired on THUNDER Imager Cell with 10x magnification. Left: Raw widefield image, Right: THUNDER cleared image. Scale bar 400 μm. Sample courtesy of Dr Tanya Singh, University of Oxford, UK.

Fast, High-Contrast Widefield Imaging of Optically Challenging Samples

Live‑cell imaging of large, complex biological samples often requires large fields of view, sub-cellular resolution, high-sensitivity, and fast acquisition – all while maintaining low illumination…

A Guide to Fluorescence Microscopy

Fluorescence microscopy uses the ability of fluorophores, dyes, or fluorescent proteins to emit light of a specific wavelength after being excited with light of a shorter wavelength. Biomolecules can…

Infinity Optical Systems - From “Infinity Optics” to the Infinity Port

“Infinity Optics” is the concept of a light path with parallel rays between the objective and tube lens of a microscope [1]. Placing flat optical components into this “infinity space” which do not…
U2OS cells transfected with an Mx1-GFP plasmid (signal enhanced using Alexa Fluor 488-conjugared anti-GFP antibody) and co-stained for nuclear DNA (Hoechst 33342), microtubules (Alexa 555) and F-actin (ATTO 643). Image was captured on Mateo FL.

Microscopy and AI Solutions for 2D Cell Culture

This eBook explores the integration of microscopy and AI technologies in 2D cell culture workflows. It highlights how traditional imaging methods—such as brightfield, phase contrast, and…
Image of roundworm C. elegans acquired with a M205 FA fluorescence automated stereo microscope in combination with Rottermann contrast. Areas labelled with mCherry are seen as reddish purple.

A Guide to C. elegans Research – Working with Nematodes

Efficient microscopy techniques for C. elegans research are outlined in this guide. As a widely used model organism with about 70% gene homology to humans, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (also…
These images illustrate the need for multiple z-slices to capture all gH2Ax foci in a given cell and get an accurate count.

Development and Derisking of CRISPR Therapies for Rare Diseases
