«These factors increase the likelihood of adoption of the
technique in developing countries where cost, complexity and lack of expertly trained technicians can often prohibit the use of a polarized
microscopy technique or even traditional laboratory
microscopy as the
standard of diagnosis,» Coté says.
Current
standard techniques to visualize, quantify, and characterize EVs are electron
microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analyses, and dynamic light scattering.
Idrobo adds that new electron
microscopy techniques can complement existing methods, such as x-ray spectroscopy and neutron scattering, that are the gold
standard in studying magnetism but are limited in their spatial resolution.
Furthermore, so as to understand the chemical and physical nature of the shaping process,
standard characterization
techniques (spectroscopy and electron
microscopy) have been employed, as well as new theoretical models and advanced computer simulation
techniques.
Being a physicist by formation, I am especially attracted by two aspects in these fields: exploring the overlap between neuroscience and physics, where functional processes can be tested regarding possible underlying fundamental mechanisms (e.g. quantum biology) and the application of experimental
techniques which go beyond
standard neuroscience approaches (nonlinear
microscopy, optogenetics).
We work across disciplines and use a variety of
techniques including microfluidics,
standard microscopies (electron, optical, fluorescence, confocal), spectroscopies (fluorescence, UV, CD), scattering
techniques (X-ray, light), protein expression and characterization and cell - free gene expression to investigate the utility of coacervate microdroplets as robust reaction compartments and cellular mimics.
We are developing novel
techniques to achieve highest 3D resolution of single fluorophores using Supercritical Angle Localization
Microscopy and correlative superresolution and electron
microscopy, and are implementing quantitative superresolution imaging based on counting reference
standards.
Recently, researchers figured out a way to modify a popular electron
microscopy technique to look at a mix of materials, even those that would appear invisible to
standard imaging
techniques.
