Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley physicists' new technique offers detailed images of the small molecules and cell structures that ...

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 ...

A new study introduces affordable HySIL lens technology and modular devices that deliver high-resolution 3D tissue imaging.

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...

CrestOptics S.p.A., a manufacturer of high-end microscopy solutions and advanced systems for fluorescence microscopy and diagnostic applications, has been recognised as developing one of the ten best ...

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 ...
