A New Tool for Live-Cell Imaging
A New Tool for Live-Cell Imaging
To expand the toolbox of imaging in living cells, researchers from Colorado State University and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a genetically encoded, antibody-based probe that works with specificity in vivo. The probe can light up, in multiple colors, HA-tagged nuclear, cytoplasmic, membrane, and mitochondrial proteins in diverse cell types.

Photonics Media - Remote Sensing Remote Sensing

Photonics Media
From space and the sky around us to firmly on the ground, remote sensing is providing an important view of our surroundings that can’t be seen with our eyes alone. A variety of optical technologies are having an impact on applications as diverse as agriculture and defense, weather and climate, and are now part of the payload on satellites, planes and drones, and riding in and even guiding vehicles on the highway. Remote Sensing is for anyone working with the relevant technologies or considering the application of optical remote sensing. It also will serve as an introduction for those completely new to the subject.
