A new software-based tool fits onto a microscope like a pair of goggles, allowing a scientist to measure a broad number of physical parameters in the Petri dish while investigating fat cells. They ...

Researchers developed a new smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that enables precision 3D measurements. The highly portable and inexpensive microscope could help bring 3D measurement ...

Explore 25 astonishing things you can only see under a microscope. Discover hidden universes in everyday objects, from ...

Within a modest engineering laboratory at Duke University, a new type of researcher is quietly at work next to an optical microscope. This new researcher has no need for coffee, does not become tired, ...

The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is the working core of nanotechnology and nanoscience and uses an atomically sharp tip, typically made of silicon or silicon nitride, to probe and manipulate a sample ...

Researchers at University of California Davis (UC Davis) have designed a new laser-scanning approach to microscopy that is expected to open doors to brain-imaging in mouse models with improved speed ...

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...

Researchers developed a smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that can capture, reconstruct and display holograms in almost real time. They used the microscope to acquire cross-sectional ...
