Scientists uncovered how boron nitride nanotubes can be coaxed into forming ordered liquid crystalline phases in water.

To test the theory, the team synthesized the crystal and studied how it interacted with circularly polarized light. As ...

Optical microscope image of a representative crystal that possesses centrosymmetry, yet shows differential absorption of circularly polarized light.

If that isn't cool enough, the microscopes we use to look at these thin sections utilize a very special kind of light called "polarized light". That might sound familiar because good sunglasses are ...

The hybrid microscope combines polarized fluorescence technology, a tool that can measure molecular orientation, and dual-view light sheet microscopy (diSPIM), which is specialized to image along the ...

As reported in PNAS the technique combines polarized fluorescence microscopy, good at measuring the orientation of molecules, with a dual-view light-sheet microscope (diSPIM, from selective-plane ...

The microscope combines polarized fluorescence technology, a valuable tool for measuring the orientation of molecules, with a dual-view light sheet microscope (diSPIM), which excels at imaging along ...

The microscope combines polarized fluorescence, which measures molecular orientation, with a dual-view light sheet microscope (diSPIM) that captures depth details in a sample.

With traditional microscopy, including polarized light, you can study the spindle quite nicely if it's in the plane perpendicular to the viewing direction. As soon as the plane is tilted, the ...
