A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Which compound microscope is best? Anybody who is into science has probably thought about getting a microscope. But with so many different types available, it can be overwhelming to decide on the ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

Engineers have developed an experimental strategy to control and observe the chemical reaction of a single nanocatalyst using an optical microscope -- Expected to contribute to catalyst design based ...

The mIRage-LS optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) microscope has a spectral range of 3600-2700 and 1800-800 cm-1 for infrared (IR) spectroscopy and a spectral range of 3900 – 200 cm-1 for Raman ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...
