State-of-the-art microscopy is a vital tool in understanding the critical mechanisms of cell growth and division. We provide the latest in live cell imaging technology, enabling scientists at The ...

Light microscopy is used to make small structures and samples visible by providing a magnified image of how they interact with visible light, e.g., their absorption, reflection and scattering. This is ...

We need microscopes to study most cells. Microscopes are used to produce magnified images. There are two main types of microscope: Glass was developed by the Romans in the first century. Since then, ...
