Structural information is key when one seeks to understand complex biological systems, and one of the most complex biological structures is the vertebrate central nervous system. To image a complete…

A HyD is a sensor for detecting light (photons). It is a compound (hybrid) of two technologies: vacuum tubes, like those used in a photomultiplier tube (PMT), and semiconductor microelectronics, like…

The Hybrid Photodetectors (HyD) are! Why that is the case is explained in this short Science Lab article.

„Way too complicated!“ - the notorious feedback when it comes to fluorescence lifetime measurements. This will change now! New technologies and new concepts for data evaluation, all implemented in…

This article outlines the most important sensors used in confocal microscopy. By confocal microscopy, we mean "True Confocal Scanning", i.e. the technique that illuminates and measures one single…
