I built a 3D printed, scanning laser confocal microscope so I could collect 3D surface topology and profilometry data! The ...

A team of researchers affiliated with UNIST has succeeded in developing a new optical microscope technology, capable of deeper imaging beyond the biological tissues. This breakthrough has been led by ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale ...

Haozhe "Harry" Wang's electrical and computer engineering lab at Duke welcomed an unusual new lab member this fall: artificial intelligence. Using publicly available AI foundation models such as ...

The resolution and contrast of microscope imaging is often affected by aberrations introduced by imperfect optical systems and inhomogeneous refractive structures in specimens. Adaptive optics (AO) ...

A new imaging technology uses polarized 'optical vortices' to provide a detailed, dynamic view of molecules in motion. Understanding the nitty gritty of how molecules interact with each other in the ...

Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet printers: They all produce or contain liquid droplets so tiny it would take several billion of them to fill a liter bottle. Measuring the volume, motion and contents ...

Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

For over a century, surgeons performing delicate procedures have relied on stereoscopic microscopes to gain a sense of depth. These tools mimic human vision by presenting slightly different images to ...

In the field of materials characterization, optical microscopy is one of the most commonly used imaging techniques. It is estimated that the diffraction limit of optical light is half of the ...

In 1931, physicists Knoll and Ruska unveiled the first electron microscope, revolutionizing science by using magnetic lenses ...

For big-ticket purchases, I tend to do a lot of research before I open my wallet. I like to at least have the illusion that when I send my money off to a far-away stranger, I’m likely to get back ...
