A new Review in Journal of Cell Science discusses how specimens can impact image acquisition

Posted by , on 13 April 2022

With the development of new imaging strategies and technologies and advanced computational analyses has come a body of literature addressing various aspects of optimising imaging and processing. However, the impact of the sample itself on the quality of the image attained has garnered less exploration. Fluorescent microscopy is dependant on two factors – the intensity

Considerations for expression of fluorescent proteins and imaging in mammalian cells

Posted by , on 7 July 2021

Introduction to fluorescent proteins  Fluorescent proteins have the property of absorbing light at one wavelength and emit light in a longer wavelength. These proteins were observed first in bioluminescent organisms known to humanity for centuries. We can find examples of light-emitting organisms in multiple taxa: from single cell organisms like bacteria, to vertebrates like fish.

Phototoxicity - the good, the bad and the quantified.

Posted by , on 14 May 2021

Our virtual meeting on phototoxicity was held in late January 2021, generously sponsored by the European Microscopy Society and enabled by the Royal Microscopical Society. In four hours, spread over two days, the five organisers and twenty invited participants discussed the problem of phototoxicity in live imaging, and how we can start to tackle this
