Shining a Light on New Microscopy Technologies

From the advent of optical microscopes to today, light microscopy methods have been central to life science discoveries across disciplines.

Brought to you byEvident and The Scientist Creative Services Team

Scientists turn to light microscopy when imaging cells, organelles, and subcellular structures and molecules. Scientific breakthroughs gave rise to brightfield methods that became indispensable tools in biological research and laid the foundations for fluorescence microscopy, higher resolution techniques, and live-cell imaging. Today, researchers benefit from technological advances such as automation and smart systems that further enhance light microscopy.

Download this article from The Scientist’s Creative Services Team and Evident to discover how automation and smart technologies help scientists streamline their light microscopy workflows.
