The first commercial version of a new light microscope that pushes beyond the previous limits for viewing living processes has just been installed at the UC Davis Center for Biophotonics Science and ...

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 ...

It took about six months for the jungle to kill Aaron Pomerantz’s microscope. An entomologist without a microscope is like an astronomer without a telescope, so Pomerantz needed a replacement. Ideally ...

Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used ...

Light microscopy does much what the name implies: visible light and magnifying lenses are used to view small objects. Light microscopes are the oldest form of higher quality imaging devices, dating ...

Learn about how Mark Raizen and his team at UT Austin have developed the world's highest resolution atom lens. An atom lens is analogous to a glass lens used in an optical microscope or magnifying ...

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 ...

This protocol outlines a procedure for collecting and analyzing point spread functions (PSFs). It describes how to prepare fluorescent microsphere samples, set up a confocal microscope to properly ...

(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 ...
