https://main--eds-evident-website--evident-scientific.aem.live/en/iotyThe Evident Image of the Year Award recognizes outstanding images of life science specimens captured through light microscopes, using any magnification, any illumination technique and any brand of equipment.
https://main--eds-evident-website--evident-scientific.aem.live/en/microscope-resource/knowledge-hub/techniques/confocal/applications/fpcolorpaletteA broad range of fluorescent protein genetic variants have been developed over the past several years that feature fluorescence emission spectral profiles spanning almost the entire visible light spectrum.
https://main--eds-evident-website--evident-scientific.aem.live/en/microscope-resource/knowledge-hub/lightandcolorLight is a phenomenon that is explained with a model based on rays and wavefronts. The Evident Scientific Microscopy Resource Center Microscopy Primer explores many of the aspects of visible light starting with an introduction to electromagnetic radiation.
https://main--eds-evident-website--evident-scientific.aem.live/en/microscope-resource/knowledge-hub/techniques/fluorescence/tirf/tirfhomeTotal internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) is an elegant optical technique utilized to observe single molecule fluorescence at surfaces and interfaces and is commonly employed to investigate the interaction of molecules with surfaces.
https://main--eds-evident-website--evident-scientific.aem.live/en/microscope-resource/knowledge-hub/techniques/fluorescence/fret/fretintroThe technique of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), when applied to optical microscopy, permits determination of the approach between two molecules within several nanometers, a distance sufficiently close for molecular interactions to occur.
https://main--eds-evident-website--evident-scientific.aem.live/en/microscope-resource/knowledge-hub/techniques/confocalConfocal microscopy offers several advantages over conventional widefield optical microscopy, including the ability to control depth of field and the capability to collect serial optical sections from thick specimens.
https://main--eds-evident-website--evident-scientific.aem.live/en/microscope-resource/knowledge-hub/anatomy/anatomyThe microscope must accomplish three main tasks: produce a magnified image of the specimen, separate the details in the image, and render the details visible to the human eye or camera.
