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

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 ...

The starting point for the design of light-sheet systems should be a specific biological question or application. Indeed, LSFM is particularly suited for construction around the sample, because the ...

Microscopes are of three basic types: optical, electron (or ion), and scanning probe. The modern optical or light microscope was developed in the mid-19th century. Optical microscopes use transparent ...

It’s not every day that something from the 17 th century gets radically reinvented. But this month, a team from the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard took aim at one of the most iconic pieces of lab ...

Optical microscopy is a technique employed to closely view a sample through the magnification of a lens with visible light. This is the traditional form of microscopy, which was first invented before ...

(Nanowerk News) Lasers are often used to look at objects in microscopes. But even the best laser has “quantum noise” that makes a picture blurry and hides the details. This in turn results in ...

Art curators and conservators now can quickly get far more detailed information than ever before by using an integrated combination of light and electron microscopy. OBERKOCHEN/Germany, ...

The technique is sort of a combination of light microscopy, which bounces light off of objects, and electron microscopy, which bounces electrons off of objects. UC, San Diego Bringing color to ...
