Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...

I write about the world of biology. The discovery of bioluminescent sand on a San Diego beach just a few days ago has reignited public fascination with the stunning natural phenomenon. The ...

Lanternfishes have light-producing organs on their bodies that are called photophores. This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence.

The Olympus LV200 Luminoview has been optimized for collecting the faint light associated with bioluminescence, providing consistent cellular-level clarity. The path from the object to the camera ...
