Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes ...

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...

This story originally featured on Popular Science. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists invented the first electron microscope, has taken yet another step. “This is the ...

This image taken by the new microscope shows a living bone cancer cell with nucleus (blue), mitochondria (green) and cytoskeleton (magenta). Bielefeld University/W. Hübner When you want to look at ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Germany’s Max Planck Society and the microscope maker Leica Microsystems have joined forces to commercialize a new technique to allow optical microscopes to look at even smaller objects than was ...

Electron microscopy has allowed scientists to see individual atoms, but even at that resolution not everything is clear. The lenses of electron microscopes have intrinsic imperfections known as ...

Tucson-headquartered scientific camera specialist Photometrics says that thanks to a collaboration with the Netherlands-based microscopy startup Confocal.nl, laboratories are now able to buy a new ...

Simple design: the LEGO microscope (left) and a technical drawing of the instrument. The black eyepiece is at the top, and also visible is the black wheel that is used to adjust the position of the ...
