A new holographic microscope allows scientists to see through the skull and image the brain. The new label-free deep-tissue imaging with the wave correction algorithm retrieves the fine neural network ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

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

The microscope combines a big telecentric photolithography lens with a large tube lens to create sharp, detailed images of large and curved samples. These lenses project the image onto a flat array of ...

TUCSON, Ariz.– NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander has taken the first-ever image of a single particle of Mars’ ubiquitous dust, using its atomic force microscope. The particle — shown at higher magnification ...

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 ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

Microscope image of one of the closest algal relatives of land plants, a single-celled alga called Mesotaenium endlicherianum (20 micrometres corresponds to 0.02 millimetres) Samples of Mesotaenium ...
