How does one calculate the magnification of a digital microscope on varying the distance of sensor from objective lens?

I have been struggling with this concept for a very long time. To calculate the total magnification provided by any digital microscope we generally multiply all the individual magnifications...

In terms of camera based fluorescence microscopy, what does time interval mean?

I am getting slightly confused here... When the term 'time interval or delta t' is used, does it explicitly imply time between successive frames or can it also refer to the time taken to capture...

Why doesn't the diffusion coefficient in the stokes Einstein eq. depend on the type of material?

I want to understand how can two spheres of different materials but the same hydrodynamic size and in the same solution have identical diffusion coefficients? Like shouldn't it also depend on the...

How do I calculate the pixel size of my camera?

So as per my understanding the pixel size (let's say in microns) of a camera like ccd or scmos would also depend on the rest of the optical setup like the objective used. So one would carry out a...

Which is the best cross linker for binding thiol-DNA to amine-magnetic beads?

I have to covalently conjugate thiolated ss-oligo probes (10-20 nucleotides long) on to the surface of amino-functionalised magnetic beads. I have been looking up papers on that and I came across...

Why are zero mode waveguides made of aluminium?

All that I have read on ZMWs (not much) says "metallic subwavelength apertures" and then only mentions aluminium cladded ZMWs. Although I did find a comparison between Au vs Al (haven't read that...

How can I prepare Candida cells for TEM analysis?

I found a protocol on the internet but it is a very elaborate one, is there a simpler one available? I need to visualise Candida cells alone as well as cells conjugated with MNPs.

I was reading about the effects of Microwave heating on metal enhanced fluorescence based assays. In that context, I need to understand the following?

"For metals, the attenuation of microwave radiation arises from the creation of currents resulting from charge carriers being displaced by the electric field. These conductance electrons are...
