Charge-coupled microscopy

Light microscopy of immunoperoxidase-stained sections was done on Axiovert S100 microscope (Carl Zeiss, Tokyo, Japan) and digitized by a 3-CCD (charge-coupled device) digital camera (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) on a personal computer (Fujitsu, Tokyo, Japan). Only cells in a single focal plane were counted on a computer screen to avoid oversampling. 

Fig. 15.1. Schematic representation of amyloid fibrils revealed by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, (a) The penetration depth of the evanescent field formed by the total internal reflection of laser light is 150nm for a laser light at 455 nm, so only amyloid fibrils lying parallel to the slide glass surface were observed. (b) Schematic diagram of a prism-type TIRFM system on an inverted microscope. ISIT image-intensifier-coupled silicone intensified target camera, CCD charge-coupled device camera...

The introduction of a slow-scan charge-coupled device (CCD) camera for fluorescence microscopy [6] presented a suitable alternative to recording by film and CCD cameras were rapidly introduced as part of TRFM hardware [7-10]. Presently, two decades later a series of lanthanide based reagents with relatively high quantum efficiency and acceptable photostability exist and there are many...
