StarStarStarStar

Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM)

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes patterned light to interact with the specimen, which is then processed to reconstruct an image with resolution beyond conventional limits.

StarStarStarStar

Photoacoustic Imaging

StarStarStarStar

Imaging technique combining optical and ultrasound methods by detecting sound waves emitted by tissues after absorbing pulsed laser light, providing insights into tissue's optical properties and structure.

StarStarStarStar

Diffraction Phase Microscopy

StarStarStarStar

A quantitative phase imaging technique that uses the phase shift that light undergoes as it passes through a transparent sample to construct detailed images about sample's optical path length changes.

StarStarStarStar

X-ray Crystallography

StarStarStarStar

A technique to determine the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal by directing X-ray beams at it and measuring the angles and intensities of the resulting diffractions, used to identify molecular structure.

StarStarStarStar

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) Microscopy

StarStarStarStar

This method uses the phenomenon of total internal reflection to create an evanescent wave that excites fluorescent molecules in a very thin region near the glass-water interface, improving surface selectivity and reducing background noise.

StarStarStarStar

Confocal Microscopy

StarStarStarStar

A technique that uses point illumination and a spatial pinhole to eliminate out-of-focus light in specimens that are thicker than the focal plane, enhancing optical resolution and contrast.

StarStarStarStar

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

StarStarStarStar

An imaging technique similar to ultrasound but using light instead of sound, providing high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, cornea, or other tissues.

StarStarStarStar

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy

StarStarStarStar

A technique that measures the absorbance of infrared radiation by a sample at different wavelengths, creating a spectrum characteristic of the sample's molecular composition and structure.

StarStarStarStar

Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) Microscopy

StarStarStarStar

A technique that surpasses the diffraction limit of light to provide super-resolution images. It uses one laser beam to excite fluorescent dyes and another to deactivate fluorescence around the targeted focal spot.

StarStarStarStar

Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)

StarStarStarStar

A method used to study the movement and diffusion of molecules within live cells. It involves photobleaching a region of interest and monitoring the recovery of fluorescence in that area over time.

StarStarStarStar

Two-Photon Excitation Microscopy

StarStarStarStar

A fluorescence imaging technique that allows imaging of living tissue up to about one millimeter in thickness. It uses two photons of lower energy instead of one photon of higher energy to excite a fluorophore.

StarStarStarStar

Digital Holographic Microscopy

StarStarStarStar

An imaging technique that records the hologram of a sample with a digital sensor, then reconstructs the image computationally to visualize depth information and optical properties.
