How to Achieve Brain Tissue Resection with GLOW400 AR

Intraoperative MRI is one form of real-time intraoperative visualization, but if more in-depth visualization to identify a tumor during surgery is wanted, intraoperative fluorescence diagnostics is…
Block-face created by automatic trimming under fluorescence. Mammalian cells of interest, stained with CellTrackerTM Green are visualized within the block-face using the UC Enuity equipped with the stereo microscope M205 FA. In the background a carbon finder grid in black is visible. All samples in the article are created by Felix Gaedke, PhD, CECAD, Cologne, Germany.

Automated Laser Microdissection for Proteome Analysis

Deep Visual Proteomics Provides Precise Spatial Proteomic Information

Despite the availability of imaging methods and mass spectroscopy for spatial proteomics, a key challenge that remains is correlating images with single-cell resolution to protein-abundance…
These images show the microstructure of a hard metal with 10% cobalt which is used for heavy-duty tools. The large increase in magnification of the right image (compared to the left) has a risk of being outside the useful range or, in other words, empty magnification.

What is Empty Magnification and How can Users Avoid it

The phenomenon of “empty magnification”, which can occur while using an optical, light, or digital microscope, and how it can be avoided is explained in this article. The performance of an optical…
Developing embryos of different species at different stages during the elongation of their posterior body axis, from left to right in developmental time. The labelled regions in red depict a region of undifferentiated cells called the tailbud, with the corresponding region generated from that tissue shaded in grey. Upper row: lamprey; middle row: catshark; bottom row, zebrafish. This figure has been adapted from the following publication: Steventon, B., Duarte, F., Lagadec, R., Mazan, S., Nicolas, J.-F., & Hirsinger, E. (2016). Species tailoured contribution of volumetric growth and tissue convergence to posterior body elongation in vertebrates. Development, 2016. 143(10):1732-41

How to Study Gene Regulatory Networks in Embryonic Development

Multiplexed Cell DIVE imaging of Adult Human Alzheimer’s brain tissue section demonstrating expression of markers specific to astrocytes (GFAP, S100B), microglia (TMEM119, IBA1), AD-associated markers (p-Tau217, β-amyloid) and immune cells such as CD11b+, CD163+, CD4+, and HLA-DRA+, clustered around the β-amyloid plaques.

Spatial Analysis of Neuroimmune Interactions in Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neurofibrillary tangles, β-amyloid plaques, and neuroinflammation. These dysfunctions trigger or are exacerbated by…

Leitfaden zur Räumlichen Biologie

What is spatial biology, and how can researchers leverage its tools to meet the growing demands of biological questions in the post-omics era? This article provides a brief overview of spatial biology…
Image of a 12-μm thick brain section, which was stained with Toluidin blue, before dissection. It was taken with a microscope using a 63x objective.

An Introduction to Laser Microdissection

The heterogeneity of histological and biological specimens often requires isolation of specific single cells or cell groups from surrounding tissue before molecular biology analysis can be carried…
