Patient Outcomes of Prostate Cancer with Whole Slide Imaging
An interview with Dr. Anil Parwani, discusses how whole slide imaging of prostate cancer sections is helping to inform pathologists and improve patient outcomes.

			Forming 3D Neuronal Models of the Brain In this interview, conducted at SfN 2018, Grischa Chandy from Molecular Devices provides insight on 3D imaging solutions for neuroscience research.

			Flow Cytometry vs. Fluorescence Microscopy Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry are used to quantify the total number and type of cells in a sample. They differ slightly in their applications.

	Game-changing microscope enables UK scientists to understand amyloid structure Scientists have used cryo-electron microscopes to generate 3D images of amyloid, showing that aggregates form long, twisted fibers.

	Using Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Bacteria Fluorescent microscopy has revolutionized the study of bacteria and helped scientists to understand various aspects of their growth, development, and pathogenesis.

	TIRF Microscopy Explained Total internal reflection fluorescence (or TIRF) microscopy excites fluorophores in a thin region of the specimen. This way, only fluorescent molecules that are close to the solid (usually a glass coverslip) are efficiently excited.

	Measuring Eukaryotic Cells in Liquid Using Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy, or ‘CLEM’, is an imaging approach that couples light microscopy’s varied capabilities with electron microscopy’s high resolution. One of the main disadvantages for biological uses of CLEM is the requirement to dry or cryogenically freeze samples, which makes experimental methods overly complex and has a tendency to introduce artifacts.
