Imaging live cells with fluorescent proteins has long been a crucial technique for understanding cellular behavior. While bioluminescent proteins offer several advantages over fluorescent proteins ...

Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...

The Olympus LV200 Luminoview has been optimized for collecting the faint light associated with bioluminescence ... not previously possible with standard imaging equipment. With the optical ...

2 Not all bioluminescent marine organism systems can be used for animal imaging because the majority of them generate blue light that does not penetrate tissue appropriately for detection. Furthermore ...

The group is currently engaged in collaborative research with Professor Speck (University Hospital Zurich) developing novel luciferin and luciferases for in vivo bioluminescence imaging applications.

Our facility provides three visible-wavelength laser point scanning confocal systems suitable for creating multi-dimensional images of living or non-living samples. Specimens labeled with single or ...

Bioluminescent luciferase enzymes have historically been too dim to use as probes in living tissue. But recent advances have ...
