ASCB: Spotlight on Cell Bio

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
By Laura S. Marshall, Photonics Spectra Managing Editor

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11, 2009 – Not even a day of rain and wind could keep attendees away from the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) annual meeting at the San Diego Convention Center this week. In fact, the uncharacteristically gray, wet weather might have kept conferencegoers from being distracted by San Diego’s beaches, at least on Monday.

    quantum dots
    A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
    superresolution
    Superresolution refers to the enhancement or improvement of the spatial resolution beyond the conventional limits imposed by the diffraction of light. In the context of imaging, it is a set of techniques and algorithms that aim to achieve higher resolution images than what is traditionally possible using standard imaging systems. In conventional optical microscopy, the resolution is limited by the diffraction of light, a phenomenon described by Ernst Abbe's diffraction limit. This limit sets a...
