Gene expression studies can monitor biological processes using a “molecular beacon” (single-stranded DNA, ssDNA), a ...

Fluorescent anatomy, which recently seemed to be a quirk in unusual animals such as platypuses and opossums, was found in most living families of mammals. By Cara Giaimo At first, it seemed to be ...

Researchers have reported a sample-prior-based approach to point spread function decoupling that improves system ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Abiotic stress physiology is a critical field within plant science, particularly as climate change and environmental ...

While there is an astounding variety of physical differences in wildlife that humans can easily observe, new research from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences reveals that there is likely ...

Computational fluorescence microscopy (CFM) requires accurate point spread function (PSF) characterization for high-quality ...

Flow cytometry detects and measures the chemical and physical properties and characteristics of particles or cells within a population. Samples are suspended in a liquid, held in a tube, and counted ...

Spectacular fluorescence has been spotted in 27 species that we didn't previously know were capable of glowing in the dark. The discoveries were made during a three-year study in the Red Sea in Egypt ...
