You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far ...

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

China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has granted regulatory approval for 2 next-generation ophthalmic ...

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 ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...
