Fluorescence Microscopy vs. Light Microscopy

Both fluorescence microscopy and light microscopy represent specific imaging techniques to visualize cells or cellular components, albeit with somewhat different capabilities and uses. At its core, fluorescence microscopy is a form of light microscopy that uses many extra features to improve its capabilities.

			Using Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Proteins Fluorescence microscopy can be used visualize proteins inside live cells. This is particularly useful when studying signaling pathways and binding partners.

			Inflating cells to analyze organelle structure and function Researchers have developed a technique that enables visualization of cellular organelles at a resolution that has not previously been achievable in optical microscopy.

	Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy Uses in Research Single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is a group of super-resolution microscopy techniques that can obtain images at extremely high resolutions.

	Novel Dark-Field Microscopy System Developed for Observing Motions of Kinesin Motions of protein molecular motors can be observed using optical microscopy while they are at work in the biological systems. It would be possible to track the motions of individual molecules by labeling molecules of interest with suitable probes.

	Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) Microscopy Applications TIRF microscopy is a technique used to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio in imaging. It can be applied to the study of cells and their processes.

	Advanced illumination expands capabilities of light-sheet microscopy Bruker announces the launch of the Luxendo InVi SPIM AIM next-generation lattice light-sheet microscope, with an advanced illumination module (AIM).
