High Resolution and Flexibility for Microscopic Examinations of Near-membrane Processes

With Laser TIRF 3, Carl Zeiss infuses its imaging system for Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence microscopy with an entirely new level of quality. The TIRF system is suitable for reproducible microscopic examinations of near-cell membrane dynamic processes and interactions of single molecules in cell-free systems with high time resolution.

First Vertebrate to Use Mirrors to Focus Light in its Eyes

Professor Julian Partridge from the University of Bristol, said: "In nearly 500 million years of vertebrate evolution, and many thousands of vertebrate species living and dead, this is the only one known to have solved the fundamental optical problem faced by all eyes - how to make an image - using a mirror."

Lens-Free Imaging Technology Inegrated into Cell Phones Used for Medical Application

In the lab of UCLA electrical engineering professor Aydogan Ozcan, a prototype
cell phone has been constructed that is capable of monitoring the condition
of HIV and malaria patients, as well as testing water quality in undeveloped
areas or disaster sites. The innovative imaging technology was invented by Ozcan,
a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, and has been miniaturized
by researchers in his lab to the point that it can fit in standard cell phones.

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) Label-Free Imaging Technique Set to Revolutionize Biomedical Imaging

The key to this new chemical imaging technique is the use of two lasers with different frequencies. Researchers visualize samples by tuning the laser frequencies to match the vibrational frequency of a specific chemical bond. Each type of molecule within a sample, including nutrients or drugs, is detectable at a unique frequency.
