Microscopy - Methods
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Microscopy'The use of instrumentation and techniques for visualizing material and details that cannot be seen by the unaided eye. It is usually done by enlarging images, transmitted by light or electron beams, with optical or magnetic lenses that magnify the entire image field. With scanning microscopy, images are generated by collecting output from the specimen in a point-by-point fashion, on a magnified scale, as it is scanned by a narrow beam of light or electrons, a laser, a conductive probe, or a topographical probe. |

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...
Estimation of variance components of local stereological volume estimators: a pilot study.
29 Sep 2009 Local stereological techniques can be used for particle volume estimation based on information collected on a section plane through a reference point of the particle. We present methods for variability estimation of the local stereological volume ... Read more...
