Figure 1: An example of the use of the mmTIRFM in a CoSMoS experiment to study spliceosome assembly. Multiwavelength TIRFM often uses an objective-based setup in which TIR is generated by focusing the ...

Engineers have developed a small, mirrored chip that helps to produce dark-field images, without dedicated expensive components. The chip is slightly larger than a postage stamp and as thin as a ...

Optimal image quality in light-sheet microscopy requires a perfect overlap between the illuminating light sheet and the focal plane of the detection objective. However, mismatches between the ...
