If your kid can’t get enough animal books, Nat Geo documentaries and time roaming around your backyard collecting bugs, it might be time to take their exploration to a new, tangible level with ...

The first commercial version of a new light microscope that pushes beyond the previous limits for viewing living processes has just been installed at the UC Davis Center for Biophotonics Science and ...

James Hillier, the Canadian-born physicist who made the first practical electron microscope, then personally convinced hundreds of scientists to use it, has died. He was 91. Hillier died of a stroke ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

Australian researchers say they have built a world-first prototype of a new microscope that will "open scientific doors". Associate Professor Paul Dastoor from the University of Newcastle has been ...

A fluorescent shot of Pocillopora damicornis coral, otherwise known as cauliflower coral, taken with the Benthic Underwater Microscope. Until very recently, scientists who wanted to study sea ...

GoScope is the first portable digital 3D microscope system to combine voice-controlled zoom and video capture with real-time telestration¹, bringing advanced visualization, documentation, and patient ...

For big-ticket purchases, I tend to do a lot of research before I open my wallet. I like to at least have the illusion that when I send my money off to a far-away stranger, I’m likely to get back ...

While the microscope as we know it today emerged in the 17th century, the concept of magnifying objects using lenses dates back to ancient times. The ancient Egyptians and Romans used simple lenses ...

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 ...

The HT-2 from Tomocube is the world’s first microscope to combine both holotomography and 3D fluorescence imaging into one unit. Capable of simultaneously capturing high resolution 3D optical ...
