Studying Early Phase Development of Zebrafish Embryos
This video on demand focuses on combining widefield and confocal imaging to study the early-stage development of zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio), from oocyte to multicellular stage.
How To Get Multi Label Experiment Data With Full Spatiotemporal Correlation
This video on demand focuses on the special challenges of live cell experiments. Our hosts Lynne Turnbull and Oliver Schlicker use the example of studying the mitochondrial activity of live cells.…
Find Relevant Specimen Details from Overviews
Switch from searching image by image to seeing the full overview of samples quickly and identifying the important specimen details instantly with confocal microscopy. Use that knowledge to set up…
How to Target Fluorescent Structures in 3D for Cryo-FIB Milling
This article describes the major steps of the cryo-electron tomography workflow including super-resolution cryo-confocal microscopy. We describe how subcellular structures can be precisely located in…
Precise 3D Targeting for EM Imaging - Access What Matters
Find out how the seamless cryo-electron tomography workflow Coral Cryo uses confocal super resolution to target your structure of interest more precisely.
The Potential of Coherent Raman Scattering Microscopy at a Glance
Coherent Raman scattering microscopy (CRS) is a powerful approach for label-free, chemically specific imaging. It is based on the characteristic intrinsic vibrational contrast of molecules in the…
Simplifying Complex Fluorescence Multiwell Plate Assays
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, occurs during organism embryo development to eliminate unwanted cells and during healing in adults to rid the body of damaged cells and help prevent cancer.…
Efficient Long-term Time-lapse Microscopy
When doing time-lapse microscopy experiments with spheroids, there are certain challenges which can arise. As the experiments can last for several days, prolonged sample survival must be achieved…
Live-Cell Imaging Techniques
The understanding of complex and/or fast cellular dynamics is an important step for exploring biological processes. Therefore, today’s life science research is increasingly focused on dynamic…
