TAKING images of living cells always presents the possibility that the act of observation will change the thing being observed. Clusters of cells inside an organism scatter light, making images fuzzy and indistinct. The typical solution is to increase light…
NORTH American researchers can now get their hands on the Olympus LV200 benchtop microscope, which has already been available to those in Europe and Japan. The LV200 is designed to acquire very low-light bioluminescence images and, when used with the…
A CONSTANT colour temperature without heat build-up is the main advantage of the LED illumination system used on the new Leica DM4000 B microscope, says the company. The cool and uniform light produced makes the instrument suitable for biomedical and…
EVEN the best cameras with the highest quality optics and sensors are limited by the dynamic range of what they can record, and this feature is especially noticeable in high-contrast images. This can be a problem in microscopy applications where…
ACCURATELY rendered colours in microscope images should be something microscopists can take for granted, but of course much depends on the light source and the filters deployed. Olympus says it has improved on the current technology with its new true…
