Constructed with an LCD digital display, multiple lenses and XY stage plate navigation, the Celestron PentaView feels professional, enables specimens to be viewed by a large audience and is an ...

Light microscopy is one of the most essential technologies in life science research. Advances in optoelectronic detectors and the widespread availability of laser-based light sources have led to the ...

A microscope’s job is to magnify the minuscule world around us. We can observe the tiniest objects, organisms and materials, and investigate their form, texture and composition, to witness what would ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Researchers propose a synergistic computational imaging framework that provides wide-field, subpixel resolution imaging without added optical complexity via a metalens-transformer design. They ...

Eight-year-old S. Hariraj is a Foldscope devotee. He's used it to look at the milk from the cows his parents raise. Though the milk looks creamy, the Foldscope reveals a world of microorganisms. "It ...
