As recently as five years ago, shopping for a microscope light source was fairly straightforward. For routine applications, it was tungsten halogen, typically 100 W, while for fluorescence, it was an...

Over 60 years have passed since the first demonstration of a laser in 1960. After the initial spark of interest, lasers were for a while categorized as “a solution waiting for a problem,”...

Since their invention in the late 1960s, charge-coupled devices, also called CCDs, have found widespread use in imaging applications. Electronic cameras based on CCD technology are used in...

To achieve accurate and precise Raman measurements, optical filters play a crucial role in enhancing signal-to-noise ratio, and reducing background interference. This white paper explores the...

Two-photon excited fluorescence (2PEF) and second harmonic generation (SHG) are complementary multiphoton imaging techniques for studying biological samples. Both utilise femtosecond pulsed infrared...

Understanding the interplay of optical filters, microscope light source and fluorophore selection can be a complex task, especially when it comes to multi-channel imaging. However, the selection of...
