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

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 ...

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

A Columbia University-led team has developed a revolutionary microscopy technology that could dramatically advance ...

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet printers: They all produce or contain liquid droplets so tiny it would take several billion of them to fill a liter bottle. Measuring the volume, motion and contents ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, US, have built a new type microscope that provides a "chemical lens" for viewing biological systems including cell membranes and biofilms.

Blurry light from lens imperfections is a problem everywhere, from microscopes to telescopes to smartphone cameras. Using a ...

A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

Researchers have successfully integrated a megahertz-speed optical coherence tomography (MHz-OCT) system into a commercially available neurosurgical microscope and demonstrated its clinical usefulness ...

SPINDLE 2 Multi-Channel, 3D Imaging System Cost Effectively Adds Unsurpassed Depth Range and Precision to Microscopes BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Double Helix Optics today ...
