By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

Behold, the world’s fastest microscope: it works at such an astounding speed that it’s the first-ever device capable of capturing a clear image of moving electrons. This is a potentially ...

Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

Bioengineer Manu Prakash and his team at Stanford University have designed a light microscope that not only fits in your pocket but costs less than a dollar to make. "So the starting material looks ...

A new microscope is giving scientists a clearer, more comprehensive view of biological processes as they unfold in living animals. The microscope produces images of entire organisms, such as a ...

Researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope that opens up a wide range of potential applications, including turning your smartphone camera into a portable, ...

Scientists say their Stomata In-Sight tool can observe plants "breathe," which could be used to bioengineer crops that require less water, making them potentially more resilient to climate change.

Life is pretty interesting, and at the microscopic scale, it can also be beautiful, strange, intriguing, frightening and gross. The winning photos and videos from this year's Olympus BioScapes ...

Stereo microscopes are very handy tools, especially for a lot of hackers who now regularly assemble, test and debug SMD circuits using parts as small as grains of sand. We have seen a lot of stereo ...
