Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

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 ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...
