For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes, thanks to a new open-source design. For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision ...

Germany’s Max Planck Society and the microscope maker Leica Microsystems have joined forces to commercialize a new technique to allow optical microscopes to look at even smaller objects than was ...

The nanoscale X-ray imaging of biological samples could soon be routine in any lab thanks to a breakthrough by physicists in the US. The team has shown that lensless X-ray microscopes do not ...

Optical microscopes can help us see the microscopic world, but to use them to examine individual atoms is like measuring an ant with a measuring tape. An atom is way too smaller as compared to the ...

New research shows that a portable, battery-operated fluorescence microscope, which costs $240, stacks up nicely against devices that retail for as much as $40,000 in diagnosing signs of tuberculosis.

There are now various attachments that allow you to capture microscope-scale images with your smartphone. Unfortunately, however, the limitations of the phone's lens and image sensor mean that those ...

New research from a team at the Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics within the Institute of Basic Science (IBS) in Seoul, South Korea reports on the development of an optical microscope ...

Assistant Professor of Physics Travis Gould has been awarded a $473,000 grant to develop a powerful microscope that will allow researchers to examine DNA and various proteins found in cell nuclei. The ...

UCLA researchers determined sperm carrying a Y chromosome swim differently than sperm carrying an X chromosome. In a study published October, Aydogan Ozcan, professor of electrical and computer ...
