Abstract: It is becoming increasingly common for researchers to use multiple imaging techniques when characterizing cells, nanoparticles, large molecules, and small molecule dyes, particularly in systems where these materials interact.For example, fluorescence microscopy is very effective in characterizing the general location of biochemical events within a cell, but has limited resolution for discerning fine structures.Electron microscopy has superior resolution, but often requires substrates that are foreign or incompatible with cell culture, leading to experimental compromises and complications.To meet this need, SiMPore has created a range of substrates and a product platform to facilitate the use of both optical and TEM/SEM analysis in the biological laboratory.
