Microscopy Today, V. Vodyanoy, June 2005
October 2006 article on microscopes that are pushing resolution to single-molecule sharpness.
Published in 2004, the article reviews advances in light microscopy including 4Pi, STED, confocal imaging, and total internal reflection fluorescence.
The Applied Physics and Instrumentation Group (APIG) at Janelia Farms seeks to understand bioimaging challenges and to harness new technologies for advanced imaging. Three initial projects will characterize this effort: higher resolution novel microscopy, high-throughput microscopy, and correlative microscopy.
A new twist on a sophisticated light microscopy technique is enabling researchers to capture short videos of fast-moving cellular processes while delivering super high resolution images of whole cells.
Technical details on structured-illumination microscopy.
GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists winning essay by Mark Bates describing his discovery of a new type of “optically switchable” fluorescent molecule, and how these molecules were used for high-resolution biological imaging.
