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.

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

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 ...

Researchers have successfully integrated a megahertz-speed optical coherence tomography (MHz-OCT) system into a commercially available neurosurgical microscope and demonstrated its clinical usefulness ...

Blurry light from lens imperfections is a problem everywhere, from microscopes to telescopes to smartphone cameras. Using a ...

So far, the articles in the Basic Microscopy Series, 1,2,3 have described the components of a microscope and how they affect the quality of images. It’s important to understand how a microscope works ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has been monitoring the optical microscopes market and it is poised to grow by USD 557.96 mn during 2020-2024, progressing at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period ...
