A new technique based on atomic force microscopy was developed at the Institute of Food Research to help ‘read’ information encoded in the gut lining. The lining of our gut is an important barrier between the outside world and our bodies. Laid out, the gut lining would cover the area of a football pitch. It must let nutrients from our foods through, but prevent invasion by disease-causing bacteria, at the same time hosting the trillions of beneficial bacteria needed for proper...
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Scientists writing in The Journal of Visualized Experiments say they have found a way for a cellphone camera to capture images from a fluorescent microscope and flow cytometer. The new cell phone camera will make it possible for areas with limited resources to run tests like checking for contaminated water and monitoring HIV-positive patients. In a new video released by Jove, the researchers show the construction of the device...
