The complexity and cost of a scientific instrument have a large impact on the number of scientific teams with access to the instrument for their research 1,2 and thus to which extent a microscope ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

Single-pixel microscopy (SPM) is an emerging imaging technique in which a sample is illuminated with a series of micro-structured light patterns, typically generated by a digital micromirror device ...

Using a microscope during root canal treatment may improve outcomes and aid in handling complex cases with a more favorable prognosis, according to a study recently published in the Journal of ...

This might be the beginning of arterial calcifications. It is an elekron microscopy image of calcified material forming deposits. This is the first time it was possible to show a biological process ...

[Project 326] has a cheap thermal camera that plugs into a smart phone. Sure they are handy, but what if you could hack one into a microscope with a resolution measured in microns? It is easier than ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...
