The 4Pi Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope is the world's most advanced optical microscope--capable of revealing the nanostructure of genetic material within a cell in three dimensions. Bar Harbor ...

Light microscopy is undergoing a renaissance, with a huge range of tools and techniques for gathering biological data with unprecedented speed and resolution. Michael Eisenstein takes a closer look.

Functional principle of the STED-4Pi-Microcope: The interference of both red light pulses to a common focal point and the fluorescent excitation through the STED feeds the fluorescent point along the ...

Confocal and multiphoton microscopes are standard fare in academic imaging facilities, but ultrahigh-resolution systems generally have a smaller user base – namely, their inventors. Soon facilities ...
