Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, US, have built a new type microscope that provides a "chemical lens" for viewing biological systems including cell membranes and biofilms.

For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes, thanks to a new open-source design. For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision ...

Researchers have used 3D printing to make an inexpensive and portable high-resolution microscope small and robust enough to use in the field or at the bedside, notably in remote, low-tech environments ...

New work enables optical microscopes to measure these nanometer-scale details with a new level of accuracy. Over the last two decades, scientists have discovered that the optical microscope can be ...

Modern microscopes used for biological imaging are expensive, are located in specialized laboratories and require highly qualified staff. To research novel, creative approaches to address urgent ...
