At the Centre for Biophotonics of the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, a new microscope has been built that could provide breakthroughs for cancer treatment and drug discovery. The microscope uses a less complex laser system than has previously been available for obtaining crucial detailed images of cells, tissues and drugs. The instrument will remove the need to add the toxic fluorescent labeling normally required to see specific areas of interest within the material.

Glossary
fluorescence
Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
microscope
An instrument consisting essentially of a tube 160 mm long, with an objective lens at the distant end and an eyepiece at the near end. The objective forms a real aerial image of the object in the focal plane of the eyepiece where it is observed by the eye. The overall magnifying power is equal to the linear magnification of the objective multiplied by the magnifying power of the eyepiece. The eyepiece can be replaced by a film to photograph the primary image, or a positive or negative relay...
