While confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light to generate the optical section, a multi-photon (or 2-photon) microscope uses a pulsed infrared laser to stimulate fluorescence ...

A miniature head-mounted two-photon microscope small enough for a rat to carry allows researchers to visualize neuronal signaling while the animal freely interacts with its environment. It is ...

“Nanoscale plastics can breach the blood-brain barrier, [but] how [microplastics] cause brain functional irregularities remains unclear,” wrote the study’s authors.

Scientists tracked tiny pieces of microplastics as they moved through the brain blood vessels of mice. Some of them became ...

The Movable Objective Microscope ® (MOM ®) is a two-photon microscope capable of imaging deep within living specimens when combined with a Ti:Sapphire Laser. The MOM design is unique in ...

This finding confirms that quasicrystals are shaped by hidden higher-dimensional physics, not just random patterns. A ...

SpectraPhysics InSight X3 dual laser, including a 680-1300 nm tunable laser and a fixed 1045 nm laser.

The Microscopy Core includes four confocal microscopes and one two-photon microscopy suite. The confocal microscopes include a ZEISS 510 system with three lasers (488, 543, and 633 nm), a Leica SP8 ...

In the last decade, two techniques have revolutionized fluorescence microscopy: the development of genetically encoded fluorophores, such as GFP 5,6 and the invention of two-photon microscopy 7.

The innovative microscope, named DEEPscope, combines two-photon and three-photon microscopy techniques to capture large-scale neural activity and structural details that were previously inaccessible.

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...
