Resolution is improved by using shorter wavelengths of light (decreasing the value of λ) or by gathering more light (increasing either N or α).

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Neurotrophins binds with high affinity to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases called Trks-

NGF binds to TrkA

BDNF binds to TrkB

NT-3 binds to TrkC
