Technology
Light Microscopy is a technique for producing visible images of structures or details which are too small to be otherwise seen by the human eye. It involves passing light transmitted through or reflected from the subject through a series of lenses to be detected directly by the eye, imaged on a photographic plate, or captured digitally.

Technology
A simple non-quantitative form of interference microscopy of great utility in visualising live cells. Small differences in optical path length due to differences in refractive index and thickness of structures are visualised as differences in light intensity.
Diagnostic Methods
Technology
Quantitative PCR: a method to measure very small amounts of RNA transcripts as cDNA targets. There are two strategies currently used, one is called Competitive RTPCR and the other is called Real-Time PCR.
