Hypothesis-driven quantitative fluorescence microscopy – the importance of reverse-thinking in experimental design

One of the challenges in trendy fluorescence microscopy is to reconcile the typical utilization of microscopes as exploratory devices with their rising and quickly increasing function as a quantitative instruments. The contribution of microscopy to observational biology will stay monumental owing to the enhancements in acquisition velocity, imaging depth, decision and biocompatibility of trendy imaging devices. However, the use of […]

 

Cysts and (oo)cysts are the infective types of parasitic protozoa, as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, that are widespread and related to worldwide waterborne illnesses outbreaks. These microorganisms pose a problem to public well being, as they’re resistant to standard disinfection strategies, which make them essential parameters when evaluating inactivation effectivity. However, when (oo)cysts are targets, it’s difficult to deduce inactivation efficacy, […]
