SANKT AUGUSTIN, Germany, March 22, 2010 — The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) has developed a fully automated high-performance microscope with which researchers will be able to study the complex interactions of proteins between cells. In tumor diagnostics, the microscope allows the classification of slightly different types of tumors more precisely and the fine-tuning of therapies accordingly. Key factors for the superior performance of the institute’s new system are high-precision hardware and image-analysis software that is trainable and can be customized to the user’s specific...Read full article

    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...
