Abstract:
Photoelectron imaging involves the photoejection of low-energy electrons from a specimen surface exposed to UV light. The electrons are then accelerated and focused by an electron-optics system in much the same way fluorescent light is focused in an optical microscope. Thus, photoelectron imaging is the electron-optical analog of fluorescence microscopy. In combination with photoemissive labels it serves to extend the range of studies possible by fluorescence, for example in work on cell surfaces and internal structures of cells that have been exposed by detergent extraction of membranes.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.
