Swiss researchers have developed a very-high-resolution x-ray microscope. Their approach combines two well-known microscopy techniques, coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) and scanning transmission ...

A new concept combining the versatility of a stereo with the resolution of a compound microscope has been launched by Nikon Instruments. Called the AZ100 Multizoom, it offers the wide field of view ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists ...

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 ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

Scientists have been able to boost current super-resolution microscopy by a novel tweak. They coated the glass cover slip as part of the sample carrier with tailor-made biocompatible nanosheets that ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Zooming in: image of mouse embryo. (Courtesy: Gail McConnell/University of Strathclyde) A new microscope lens that offers the unique combination of a large field of view with high resolution has been ...

This is the world’s smallest silicon (Si) light-emitting diode (LED) - smaller than the wavelength of light - with a light intensity comparable to much larger, state-of-the-art Si LEDs and with ...
