infocus is the Royal Microscopical Society’s Magazine for members. It provides a common forum for scientists & technologists who use any form of microscope and includes all branches of microscopy

You can browse our infocus archive below.

Anyone can view articles in the online library once they are over one year old. RMS Members who are logged into the website can view all the latest articles as well as receive the latest printed issues of infocus, and a number of additional benefits.

    2021 Summer Studentship Report: Localisation and distribution of the activity regulated cytoskeleton associated protein (Arc) in the mammalian brain

    During this internship, I learnt important techniques in sample preparation of brain tissue for microscopy and the use of widefield as well as confocal microscopes to visualise the anatomical distribution of proteins in the brain.

    Microscopy in the Third Age – You are never too old to Learn!

    For as long as I can remember I’ve been involved with microscopy in one way or another. As a teacher I enjoyed the opportunity of being able to encourage youngsters of all ages to effectively use microscopes in the classroom setting.

    Microscopy approaches in zebrafish

    In many scientific fields, research is reliant on microscopy to acquire, describe, and model fundamental processes. With this need for microscopy and multitudes of microscopy techniques existing it can be challenging to identify the most suitable technique for a specific purpose. We here examine microscopy techniques to study cell fate control, vision development, and neuronal circuits covering various temporal, spatial, and computational scales in zebrafish.

    2021 Summer Studentship Report: Image processing and analysis methods for the detection of islets in Mesolens images of whole mouse pancreas specimens

    The aim of this project was to develop an image processing and analysis pipeline to identify and quantify islets in confocal fluorescence Mesolens images of whole mouse pancreas specimens.

    Atomic Force Microscopy combined with Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (AFM + FLIM): a powerful approach to explore the structure and dynamics of biological membranes

    Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) are two powerful techniques that are often used in the biophysical community as a means of characterising biological membranes.

    2021 Summer Studentship Report: High throughput imaging and analysis for studying feeding and digestion in a marine invertebrate model

    The “Multiscope” (also known as the Rapid Access Parallel microscope) system enables multiple fields of view to be relayed to the same detector providing applications in high-throughput imaging.

    UV transmission microscopy – optical imaging without glass

    Ultraviolet (UV) transmission microscopy is a technique which has been around for over 100 years. Originally developed in the pursuit of resolution, it has become less used over time due to the technical complexities involved and the rise of other methods.

    LED microscopy illumination: a win-win for performance and sustainability

    LED illumination systems offer significant performance advantages compared to traditional metal halide and mercury lamps, but did you know they are also much better for the environment? This is largely down to two factors: saving energy and avoiding mercury.
