Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat objects in a single snapshot. This innovation could speed up research and ...

A microscope is a scientific instrument used to magnify small objects so they can be seen larger than life. The simplest microscope is a single lens called a magnifying glass. The larger, more ...

Phase imaging microscopy under Gabor regime has been recently reported as an extremely simple, low cost and compact way to update a standard bright-field microscope with coherent sensing capabilities.

Engineers, lab scientists, and medical workers who must view magnified 3D images produced with two different cameras for long periods of time typically suffer from eye fatigue and other discomfort. A ...

Miniature fluorescence microscopes are a standard tool in systems biology. However, widefield miniature microscopes capture only 2D information, and modifications that enable 3D capabilities increase ...

In the late 17th century, a Dutch draper and self-taught scientist named Antonie van Leeuwenhoek earned renown for building some of the best microscopes available at a time when the instrument was ...

Some of the most powerful microscopic techniques allow biochemists to analyze single molecules inside cells or in solution. A new 3-D-printed microscope can perform these single-molecule measurements ...
