RESEARCHERS at Chalmers University, Sweden, have applied surface-enhanced ellipsometric contrast (SEEC) microscopy for time-resolved, label-free visualisation of biomolecular recognition events on spatially heterogeneous, supported lipid bilayers (SLB). Biomolecular binding events were monitored with a lateral resolution near the optical diffraction…

Surfs imaging sheds light on bacterial mobility and adhesion
NEW RESEARCH in France has shown that that both the adhesion of a bacterium to a surface, and its motion on that surface ,are driven by the same mechanism. The work, carried out by groups belonging to Inserm and CNRS…
Nanoscale measuring with a standard optical microscope
A NOVEL form of microscope slide that can turn any light microscope into a nanometre measuring device has been introduced by Nanolane. The company says its Sarfus Mapping Lite system uses novel ‘Surfs’ in place of conventional glass slides, and…
