A study published today in Nature demonstrates that by modifying the surface of conventional microscope slides at the nanoscale, biological structures and cells take on a striking color contrast that ...

The modern microscope is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to detecting disease, but typically the biological material being studied needs to be stained or dyed to reveal its secrets. This can ...

Staining is one of the most important steps in the preparation of biological microscope slides. First destroy the selective permeability of the cell membrane, and then use the dye to immerse the ...

Wesley R. Coe, professor of zoology at Yale during the early 20th century, devoted his career to studying ribbon worms — a group of mostly marine-dwelling creatures that includes more than 1,000 known ...

The Department of Biology at Saint Louis University offers a Leica SP8 confocal microscope with resonant scanner for academic and commercial use. Live-cell imaging can be performed using a stage ...

The research published in Molecular Biology and Evolution reports the genome sequence of a malaria parasite sourced from blood-stained medical microscope slides used in 1944 in Spain, one of the last ...

To stain cells for examination with a light microscope. To examine a range of cells and other structures with a microscope to understand their basic structure. When viewing any slide with a microscope ...

A new era in structural biology is coming to UC Davis, and it is already yielding discoveries. It’s called cryoelectron microscopy, or cryo-EM, and it allows biologists to capture three-dimensional ...
