1) Microscope slides and coverglass are used in many parts of the lab while knowledge of how these items are made and the technical properties they have is limited. 2) By not understanding the ...

There are now various attachments that allow you to capture microscope-scale images with your smartphone. Unfortunately, however, the limitations of the phone's lens and image sensor mean that those ...

The nanoscale X-ray imaging of biological samples could soon be routine in any lab thanks to a breakthrough by physicists in the US. The team has shown that lensless X-ray microscopes do not ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, US, have built a new type microscope that provides a "chemical lens" for viewing biological systems including cell membranes and biofilms.

A physics-based autofocus method uses dual LED lighting to detect and correct defocus in microscopes. It enhances imaging ...

For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes to analyse samples and detect diseases , thanks to an open-source design created at the University of Bath. The ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Upton-based research facility, broke ground recently for its Laboratory of BioMolecular Structure. The facility, which should be running fully in 2020, will serve ...

UCLA researchers determined sperm carrying a Y chromosome swim differently than sperm carrying an X chromosome. In a study published October, Aydogan Ozcan, professor of electrical and computer ...

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The diver-operated ...

Researchers typically keep two microscopes in the lab — a traditional upright device for viewing dry slides and an inverted microscope to examine live samples. San Diego start-up Echo has created a ...

Using a microscope invented at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), a collaborative team of biologists, instrument developers, and computational scientists has for the first time measured the ...
