Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...

Versatile, portable, inexpensive and packed with features, the Swift SW200DL Compound Monocular Microscope is an excellent choice for beginners, students or enthusiasts looking for a little fun. Why ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

Researchers developed a new smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that enables precision 3D measurements. The highly portable and inexpensive microscope could help bring 3D measurement ...

Since Galileo ground his own glass for the lenses of his occhiolino, scientists and doctors have relied on microscopes. And for those last 486 years, microscopes have remained too expensive, ...

Throughout history, humans have endeavoured to see things that were too small to be perceived with the naked eye in order to understand our complex world. The first magnifier constructed for ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists are building a new super-resolution microscope that uses laser light to study the inner workings and behaviours of superbugs to gain new insights into how they cause disease ...

Light microscopy is used to make small structures and samples visible by providing a magnified image of how they interact with visible light, e.g., their absorption, reflection and scattering. This is ...

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...
