Zebrafish Brain - Whole Organ Imaging at High Resolution
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…Read article
What is a Hybrid Detector (HyD)?
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…Read article
Which Sensor is the Best for Confocal Imaging?
The Hybrid Photodetectors (HyD) are! Why that is the case is explained in this short Science Lab article.Read article
Lifetime – a Proper Alternative
„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…Read article
Actin-Dependent Vacuolar Occupancy of the Cell Determines Auxin-Induced Growth Repression
The cytoskeleton is an early attribute of cellular life, and its main components are composed of conserved proteins. The actin cytoskeleton has a direct impact on the control of cell size in animal…Read article
P53- and Mevalonate Pathway–Driven Malignancies Require Arf6 for Metastasis and Drug Resistance
Application example of HvYolution Super-Resolution - Drug resistance, metastasis, and a mesenchymal transcriptional program are central features of aggressive breast tumors. The GTPase Arf6, often…Read article
From Light to Mind: Sensors and Measuring Techniques in Confocal Microscopy
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…Read article
"Leica is always flexible and dynamic" - Interview with Audrey Salles, Pasteur Institute, Paris
Audrey Salles is a specialist for confocal and super-resolution microscopy at Pasteur Institute, Imagopole, PFID, Paris, France. Her research interests are cytokine signaling and skeleton organization…Read article
Multiple Microscopy Modes in a Single Sweep with Supercontinuum White Light
Lasers have been critical to the advancement on confocal microscopy, and the white light laser (WLL) offers particular advantages. Finessing WLL output for bioimaging is a complex task, though, and…Read article
The White Confocal – Spectral Gaps Closed
This article summarizes the development and differences in design and functionality of confocal technology as far as spectral properties are concerned, from classical filter-based excitation and…Read article
Detectors for Sensitive Detection: HyD
This article discusses detectors (more precisely: sensors), that are employed in single point, i.e. true confocal scanning microscopes. The sensors in such systems are usually photomultiplier tubes.…Read article
Gates Open for Improved Confocal Fluorescence and Super-Resolution STED
True confocal microscope systems feature single-point illumination and single-point detection. The method is called "optical sectioning" since the generated image contains only information from the…Read article
