What are the Challenges in Neuroscience Microscopy?
eBook outlining the visualization of the nervous system using different types of microscopy techniques and methods to address questions in neuroscience.
Central Nervous System (CNS) Development and Activity in Organisms
This article shows how studying central nervous system (CNS) development in Drosophila-melanogaster embryos expressing a GCaMP calcium indicator in the neurons can be improved with a THUNDER Imager.
Going Beyond Deconvolution
Widefield fluorescence microscopy is often used to visualize structures in life science specimens and obtain useful information. With the use of fluorescent proteins or dyes, discrete specimen…
Fast, High-contrast 3D Imaging of Sensory Neurons
This article discusses how fast, high-contrast 3D imaging of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissue with a THUNDER Imager Tissue using large volume computational clearing (LVCC) allows sensory neurons to…
Accurately Analyze Fluorescent Widefield Images
The specificity of fluorescence microscopy allows researchers to accurately observe and analyze biological processes and structures quickly and easily, even when using thick or large samples. However,…
High-resolution 3D Imaging to Investigate Tissue Ageing
Award-winning researcher Dr. Anjali Kusumbe demonstrates age-related changes in vascular microenvironments through single-cell resolution 3D imaging of young and aged organs.
Optimizing THUNDER Platform for High-Content Slide Scanning
With rising demand for full-tissue imaging and the need for FL signal quantitation in diverse biological specimens, the limits on HC imaging technology are tested, while user trainability and…
Physiology Image Gallery
Physiology is about the processes and functions within a living organism. Research in physiology focuses on the activities and functions of an organism’s organs, tissues, or cells, including the…
