Researchers have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. (Nanowerk News) To ensure that the tissue ...

For centuries, biological imaging has relied on dyes and fluorescent labels to visualize cellular structures -- a practice that not only alters samples but can delay critical medical decisions.

FPM-vH&E and WSI-cH&E results are similar, with the same tissue structure and large-scale features (including crypts and variations in cell number and density) apparent in both image datasets. A new ...

ELECTRON microscope investigations of ‘fibrinoid’ in Aschoff nodules from biopsy specimens of the left atrial appendage in mitral stenosis have shown that collagen fibrils are intimately related to ...

The Histology portion of the Histology, Microscopy and Imaging module does embedding and sectioning of tissue samples, usually of very precise areas (for example the optic nerve), as well as ...

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 ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognisable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is ...

To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city where tiny parts called organelles move, reorganize, and respond to ...

In a breakthrough for research fields as diverse as diabetes, atherosclerosis and biofuels, the mass, concentration, volume, and surface area of individual lipid droplets have been measured in live, ...

Sensing: point-of-care sensors, mobile-phone enabled sensors, field-based sensing and measurement systems with applications in mobile health and telemedicine, environmental monitoring (for example, ...
