Retinal ganglion cells in the eastern newt Notophthalmus viridescens: topography, morphology, and diversity.

18 Oct 2009 The topography and morphology of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the eastern newt were studied. Cells were retrogradely labeled with tetramethylrhodamine-conjugated dextran amines or horseradish peroxidase and examined in retinal wholemounts. Their ... Read more...

Automatic control of mechanical forces acting on cell biomembranes using a vision-guided microrobotic system in computer microscopy.

29 Sep 2009 A prototype for automatic control of mechanical forces acting on cell biomembranes is proposed in this paper. This prototype consists of vision-guided position control of the holder and micro-force sensor, automatic mechanical property ... Read more...

Three-dimensional surface texture visualization of bone tissue through epifluorescence-based serial block face imaging.

29 Sep 2009 Serial block face imaging is a microscopy technique in which the top of a specimen is cut or ground away and a mosaic of images is collected of the newly revealed cross-section. Images collected from each slice are then digitally stacked to achieve ... Read more...
