	Microscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Microscopy is any technique for producing visible images of structures or details too small to otherwise be seen by the human eye, using a microscope or other magnification tool.
		In classical light microscopy, this involves passing light transmitted through or reflected from the subject through a series of lenses, to be detected directly by the eye, imaged on a photographic plate or captured digitally.
		Microscopy usually involves the diffraction, reflection, or refraction of radiation incident upon the subject of study.

	Electron Microscopy - Yale Cell Biology
		The Department of Cell Biology has a long tradition of excellence and innovation in the field of imaging, and electron microscopy in particular.
		The ascent of Molecular Biology has not caused de demise of electron microscopy that some had predicted, but on the contrary has resulted in a renewed interest for morphological approaches as the many gene products identified through genetic screens have to be characterized in terms of function and subcellular localization.
		One of the major technological approaches that we focus on in the Electron Microscopy Laboratory is that of immuno-gold labeling on ultrathin cryosections.

	SPM (AFM, LFM...) in Biology - Introduction
		In biology Atomic Force Microscopy has been used traditionally to measure topography [22, 357, 721, 905, 959, 1045, 1068, 1574, 1575, 1584] and nanomechanical properties of biological samples, such as elasticity [256, 327, 360, 593, 676, 992, 995, 1569, 1736].
		The variety of objects investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy in biology spans smallest biomolecules encompassing proteins, lipids, DNA, RNA and other nucleic acids, as well as rather "big" human's platelets, viruses and living cells.
		The main advantage of AFM in biology as compared with other methods is that it usually doesn't require specific sample preparation and allow measuring in most physiological conditions the most of biological objects are susceptible to.

	SFSU Cell and Molecular Biology Undergraduate Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Cell and molecular biology is the study of what cells are, how they are put together, what makes them work, what makes them differ from each other, how they associate and interact, what goes wrong in disease states, and, ultimately, how to intervene in these processes in some beneficial way to correct disease states.
		A goal of the major is to prepare students to be at the cutting edge in modern cell and molecular biology and to be fully prepared to be competitive in applications for entry into graduate degree programs, professional programs, or technical industrial jobs.
		Students who elect this major should feel intellectually stimulated by the content of courses in the curriculum and eager to be repeatedly challenged in seeking integration of the course concepts and the generation of questions about the molecular mechanisms of how cells work.

	Biology 750: Electron Microscopy
		This is similar to absorption contrast in light microscopy although virtually no electrons are actually absorbed by the thin specimens used in transmission electron microscopy.
		In light microscopy this would be accomplished with an annular phase plate in the diffraction plane of the objective lens; this is not very practical in electron microscopy.
		This is certainly the most efficient geometry for darkfield electron microscopy since the annular detector can be designed to collect virtually all of the elastically scattered electrons and can also exclude almost all inelastically scattered electrons which degrade CTEM images by increasing chromatic aberration.
