چکیده
The development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy, for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2014, has been a topic of interest to physicists and biologists alike. It is inevitable that numerous questions in biomedical research cannot be answered by means other than direct observation. In this review, advances to fluorescence microscopy are covered in a widely accessible fashion to facilitate its use in decisions related to its acquisition and utilization in biomedical research.

Fluorescence microscopy provides an efficient and unique approach to study fixed and living cells because of its versatility, specificity, and high sensitivity. Fluorescence microscopes can both detect the fluorescence emitted from labeled molecules in biological samples as images or photometric data from which intensities and emission spectra can be deduced. By exploiting the characteristics o...
متن کاملUltra-Broadband Time-Resolved Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Spectroscopy and Microscopy with Photonic Crystal Fiber Generated Supercontinuum
Optics, one of the oldest natural sciences, has been promoting the developments of sciences and technologies, especially the life science. The invention of the optical microscope eventually led to the discovery and study of cells and thus the birth of cellular biology, which now plays a more and more important role in the biology, medicine and life science. The greatest advantage of optical mic...
متن کاملWhat can stimulated emission do for bioimaging?
Advances in bioimaging have revolutionized our ability to study life phenomena at a microscopic scale. In particular, the stimulated emission process, a universal mechanism that competes with spontaneous emission, has emerged as a powerful driving force for advancing light microscopy. The present review summarizes and compares three related techniques that each measure a different physical quan...
