When I was younger, I spent a lot of time collecting things around the house and using a microscope to examine them. While I had a lot of fun examining things, the one thing that was lacking was the ...

A microscope using ultraviolet light to illuminate samples enables pathologists to assess high-resolution images of biopsies and other fresh tissue samples for disease within minutes, without ...

The first major benefit of confocal microscopes is the level of detail which can be achieved. With an already impressive horizontal resolution of 0.2 microns and vertical resolution of 0.5 confocal ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes.

As a result, an ordinary light microscope using one of the slides is able to image much smaller objects than was previously possible. In tests conducted so far, the slide enabled such a microscope to ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly ...

What’s a budding scientist to do when he/she can’t gain practice doing science in an actual lab? Why, take advantage of virtual labs, of course! The Virtual Labs: Using a Microscope app is one of a ...

A new microscope from the University of Tokyo captures both micro and nano structures without dyes. It reveals a clearer and more complete view into living cells.

Researchers have developed a new method for rapid 3D imaging. Instead of having to scan repeatedly in 2D, the researchers proposed a one-scan technique that uses a light needle to process at depth and ...
