His conclusion was simple: The Information Age has made it possible to work just about anywhere, and post-nomadic Americans are settling down in smaller, mo...Skin Cancer “Reflection” Detectin
Doctors agree that early detection is important for preventing disease. In the future, skin cancer detection may be as easy as mirrors with no tricks, just light.Jim Hattaway is a nine-year survivor of melanoma. He’s lucky doctors were able to treat him despite a delayed diagnosis. "They never found a primary, which is what you call the skin cancer as it first forms on the surface...Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy
Description:Nikon's evanescent wave imaging system utilizes an evanescent wave to excite single molecules in the thin section in contact with the coverglass. Extendable "stratum structure". This unique design permits simultaneous mounting of both TIRF and epi-fluorescence illumination systems, with no restriction on their individual capabilities. It also allows their dedicated filters to be used independentl...TIRF (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence)
Description:The TIRF slider, which allows laser coupling via an optical fibre, is the ideal tool for observing rapid membrane processes even when signals are very faint and exposure times extremely short. The easy combination with epi-fluorescence together with reproducible alignment and the effective laser safety equipment of the Carl Zeiss TIRF system all guarantee successful observations....
