Tucson-headquartered scientific camera specialist Photometrics says that thanks to a collaboration with the Netherlands-based microscopy startup Confocal.nl, laboratories are now able to buy a new ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat objects in a single snapshot. This innovation could speed up research and ...

Physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have designed a framework that allows scientists to observe interactions between light and electrons using a traditional scanning ...

Laser scanning microscopes are useful for all kinds of tiny investigations. As it turns out, you can build one using parts salvaged from a Blu-ray player, as demonstrated by [Doctor Volt]. The trick ...

Recent advances brought the performance of MEMS-based varifocal mirrors to levels comparable to conventional ultra-high-speed focusing devices. Varifocal mirrors are becoming capable of high axial ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

Optical microscopes typically max out at anywhere between 500x to 1,500x magnification, at which point you need to switch to a scanning microscope to zoom any closer. They come with some functional ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. In contrast, our nTC design (middle and right in Fig. 1b, c, g) illuminates the objective’s back-aperture with a decollimated and ...

The project illustrates the construction of a two-photon (2-P) microscopy with 30 frames video-rate system which has proved extremely useful for applications such as imaging immune cell interactions ...
