Versatility and miniaturization of imaging systems are of great importance in today's information society. Microscopic imaging techniques have always been indispensable for scientific research and ...

A compact microscope invented at Rice University is proving its potential to impact global health. In a paper published online today in the journal PLoS ONE, Rice alumnus Andrew Miller and co-authors ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have moved a step closer to building a compact, tabletop x-ray microscope that could be used for biological imaging at super-high resolution. They ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

A research team at UCLA, led by Professor Aydogan Ozcan, has introduced BlurryScope, a compact, cost-effective scanning microscope that combines simple optical hardware with advanced deep learning ...

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 ...

A high-voltage transmission electron microscope (HVTEM) small enough to fit inside a university lab has been built for the first time by researchers in Japan. The team, led by Takumi Sannomiya at ...

AEI Optics Unlimited's compact microscope system is designed to provide real-time, flat-field images for quality-assurance applications, including measuring aircraft skin cracks. The system is ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...
