A general strategy to develop fluorogenic polymethine dyes for bioimaging

Posted by , on 6 December 2023

by Annabell Martin and Pablo Rivera-Fuentes. Fluorescence imaging is an invaluable tool to study biological processes and further progress depends on the development of novel advanced fluorescent probes. Excitingly, using polymethines as a scaffold for fluorogenic dyes, we have opened up a lot of new avenues for bioimaging.

Working smarter with LEDs and optical filters for widefield fluorescence

Sponsored by CoolLED, on 13 September 2023

Optical filters can make or break a fluorescence microscopy experiment. For widefield fluorescence, they also have the potential to unlock breakthroughs in high-speed, high-contrast imaging when used alongside multi-channel LED illumination systems. There are thousands of filters and dichroic mirrors to choose from, with the selection depending on the fluorophore(s) and light source. While imaging

Advances in Expansion Microscopy

Posted by , on 4 August 2023

Expansion microscopy was introduced in 2015 by Boyden and his team, revolutionizing the way we see biological samples under a microscope1. Taking advantage of the power of physical enlargement, ExM pushes spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit, allowing us to observe intricate details at previously unimaginable levels. The underlying principle of ExM lies in a

Leveraging biophysics to push the limits of investigating RNAs in cells: Riboglow-FLIM, a breakthrough tool for visualizing RNAs in live mammalian cells

Posted by , on 1 May 2023

Nadia Sarfraz1, Esther Braselmann1* 1 Department of Chemistry, Georgetown University, Washington, District of Columbia, USA *corresponding author braselmannlab.com Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) play a critical role in cellular function. Visualizing RNAs in space and time in the context of living cells is critical to advance our understanding of biological processes in health and disease.1 Recently, our

Bypassing 164 years of tradition with 'any immersion microscopy'

Posted by , on 24 April 2023

The optical microscope is a classic scientific instrument with a straightforward purpose: to observe objects in more detail than is possible with the naked eye. Many microscope variations exist, from the rudimentary examples of the 17th century, to modern computer controlled systems with sophisticated designs. Despite the variety, most optical microscopes reuse the same physical

Fast4DReg - to the rescue of your drifty microscopy data

Posted by , on 10 March 2023

Fast4DReg to the rescue of your 4D microscopy data In life sciences, researchers use microscopes to study living organisms, such as cells or small animals. These live cell imaging experiments are usually performed over several hours, exposing the experiment to changes in the sample and in the microscope surroundings – causing the data to drift.
