Optical microscopes typically max out at anywhere between 500x to 1,500x magnification, at which point you need to switch to a scanning microscope to zoom any closer. They come with some functional ...

Blu-rays never quite managed to usurp DVDs entirely. Recent estimates, based on data gathered by Nielsen VideoScan and MediaPlayNews, suggest that as of Q2 2022, DVDs still controlled 51.4 percent of ...

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a very fast technology for determining whether a tumor has been fully removed—before the patient even leaves the operating theater. Using a combination of laser ...

I built a 3D printed, scanning laser confocal microscope so I could collect 3D surface topology and profilometry data! The ...

laser scanning microscope can see things smaller than an optical microscope using a laser, but it can cost millions of yen to get a proper one. Doctor Volt, who produces many videos for remodeling ...

Physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have designed a framework that allows scientists to observe interactions between light and electrons using a traditional scanning ...

Scanning tunneling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many years ...

The exact birth of the scanning microscope principle is not clear, as the work of numerous scientists contributed to its inception. However, it is generally accepted that the first scanning microscope ...

In this study, we integrate a single-photon detector array into a confocal laser scanning microscope, enabling the combination of fluorescence-lifetime single-molecule localization microscopy with ...

Spectral imaging is a fluorescence microscopy technique with several applications, including imaging of environment-sensitive probes, spectral unmixing and identification of fluorescent species. In ...
