A New World of Confocal Applications with the Next Generation White Light Lasers
As biological questions get more complex, there is an increasing need to study multiple events simultaneously in the same specimen. When preparing the specimen for imaging experiments, this need is…Read article
Obtain maximum information from your specimen with LIGHTNING
LIGHTNING is an adaptive process for extraction of information that reveals fine structures and details, otherwise simply not visible, fully automatically. Unlike traditional technologies, that use a…Read article
Expanding the frontiers of confocal live cell imaging
To address the specific challenges of live cell confocal imaging and help researchers get closer to the truth, Leica Microsystems has re-imagined confocal microscopy, designing its entirely new…Read article
Microscopy in Virology
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, causing the Covid-19 disease effects our world in all aspects. Research to find immunization and treatment methods, in other words to fight this virus, gained highest…Read article
Nanoscopy meets Lifetime: Introducing τ-STED
τ-STED combines the optical signals from STED and the photophysical information from the fluorescence lifetime at unprecedented speeds. This approach to STED uses phasor analysis in a novel way.…Read article
Explore Innovative Techniques to Separate Fluorophores with Overlapping Spectra
In this article we explore several strategies you can take to improve the separation of fluorophores and increase the number of fluorescent probes you can distinguish in your sample.Read article
Add an Extra Dimension to Confocal Results with TauSense
Leica Microsystems’ TauSense technology is a set of imaging modes based on fluorescence lifetime. Found at the core of the STELLARIS confocal platform, it will revolutionize your imaging experiments.…Read article
How to Uncover Hidden Dimensions in Research with Lifetime Imaging
The vast majority of imaging experiments measure fluorescence intensity but there is another key property of fluorescence—its lifetime, which is information that comes “for free” with every…Read article
Learn how to Remove Autofluorescence from your Confocal Images
Autofluorescence can significantly reduce what you can see in a confocal experiment. This article explores causes of autofluorescence as well as different ways to remove it, from simple media fixes to…Read article
Pore Scale Visualization of Drainage in 3D Porous Media by Confocal Microscopy
This work reports new interesting findings concerning porous media infiltration which have direct implications for the fields of energy (oil recovery) and environment (CO2 sequestration and aquifer…Read article
SP8 FALCON: a novel concept in fluorescence lifetime imaging enabling video-rate confocal FLIM
SP8 FALCON (FAst Lifetime CONtrast) is a fast and completely integrated fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) confocal platform. SP8 FALCON delivers video-rate FLIM with pixel-by-pixel…Read article
Coherent Raman Scattering Microscopy Publication List
CRS (Coherent Raman Scattering) microscopy is an umbrella term for label-free methods that image biological structures by exploiting the characteristic, intrinsic vibrational contrast of their…Read article
Cellular Motility: Microtubules, Motor Proteins and Tau-Proteins
Cellular motility is based on motor-proteins that can bind to filamentous scaffold proteins and – under consumption of ATP – can “crawl” on these filaments. This note is about proteins connected to…Read article
Visualize developmental patterns in Drosophila
The marvelous complexity of life is perhaps the greatest source of fascination within the biological sciences. Among the most complex subjects within biology is the development of multicellular life.…Read article
Visualize mechanical interactions of Cancer Cells
Cells interact with their environment. Not only on the base of chemical signals, but also by sensing and modifying mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. The research goal of Dr. Bo Sun’s…Read article
