In confocal Raman microscopy, a Raman spectrometer is coupled to a standard optical microscope, which leads to a high magnification of the sample and subsequent Raman analysis. Combining Raman ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few ...

Confocal microscopy is a very popular imaging technique for high-quality imaging of biological samples, especially in thicker specimens. Confocal imaging enables the capture of high-contrast images, ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM or LSCM) is a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions. The key feature of confocal microscopy is its ability to produce ...

The microscope can create three-dimensional internal images of transparent specimens. In addition, unlike some other high-resolution imaging technologies, confocal microscopy requires only minimal, ...

Resolution: Spatial resolution of a confocal Raman microscope is determined by the numerical aperture of the objective and the excitation wavelength – i.e. the smaller the aperture, the higher the ...

Many methods are used currently to apply this technology, including true confocal aperture, or pseudo confocal slit-binning. While some may be claimed to be superior to others, it is well known that ...

CrestOptics S.p.A., a manufacturer of high-end microscopy solutions and advanced systems for fluorescence microscopy and diagnostic applications, has been recognised as developing one of the ten ...

Confocal microscopy therefore enables the reconstruction of three-dimensional structures from the obtained images. The setup includes a point light source such as a laser, low-light detector such as a ...

In confocal microscopy an object is scanned using a laser beam to build up the image a line at a time. The microscope works in two basic modes - epifluorescence and reflection. In epifluorescent mode, ...

The Leica SP8 is a dual purpose visible confocal microscope and multi-photon on a single platform. The confocal microscope is equipped with 4 detectors, one of which is a highly sensitive hybrid ...
