The light microscope allows scientists to explore the miniature world with ease, yet this very accessibility can lead to confusion and frustration in the research laboratory. Researchers must adopt experimental approaches based on established guidelines for microscopy as a discipline. Although it can be simple to view a specimen or capture an image, it takes time and effort to develop the skills and mindset required for rigorous and reproducible experiments.

This Technique Talk will describe how to develop light and fluorescence imaging techniques for obtaining more representative and reproducible images.

Image of a woman with her hands across her stomach. She has a look of discomfort on her face. There is a blown up image of her stomach next to her and it has colorful butterflies and gut bacteria all swarming within the gut.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
