Three-dimensional morphology of bacterial community developed on the index-matched materials

Abstract Herein, we demonstrate that the use of index-matching materials (IMMs) allows direct visualization of microbial cells maintained at a solid–liquid interface through confocal reflection microscopy (CRM). The refractive index mismatch induces a background reflection at the solid–liquid interf...
