Transmission light microscopy is any optical microscopy technique that relies on detection of light from the opposite side of the sample that was illuminated. Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) ...

Fluorescence is a phenomenon in which illuminated materials emit light of a different wavelength to the incident light. Fluorescence microscopes create an image from the distribution of this emitted ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Brightfield microscopy has been widely used for hundreds of years, while reflection contrast microscopy is relatively new technology. As one of the earliest and simplest microscopy techniques, ...
