Examples of microscopy

• The distribution of organic matter was very difficult to analyse in conventional fluorescence microscopy.

• Eggs and follicles were photographed by immunofluorescence microscopy.

• We observed, in epifluorescence microscopy, that these objects were often not perfectly spherical, but rather appeared as prolate ellipsoids.

• Finally, the eyes were fixed and prepared for electron microscopy.

• The combination of fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy and microscopy therefore allows us to obtain important direct information on the heterogeneity of the samples.

• Meanwhile, as an epistemological consequence of microscopy, the argument from invisibility had led to heated debates over microscopic reality.

• Scanning electron microscopy allowed analyzing the quality of the cavity surfaces with respect to structural properties as well as temperature exposition.

• Viability was also confirmed by life/death experiments using confocal microscopy.
