A new microscope merges different microscopy methods to increase resolution and contrast in thick biological samples. A key component of the method is two-photon microscopy, used to generate a small ...

Researchers in the US have unveiled a handheld confocal microscope capable of capturing high-resolution images at video frame rates. The key to achieving this sought after combination is a MEMS ...

(Nanowerk News) A tiny mirror could make a huge difference for scientists trying to understand what's happening in the micron-scale structures of living cells. By growing cells on the mirrors and ...

A clever new microscope design allows nanotechnology researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to track the motions of nanoparticles in solution as they dart around in ...

A microscope that studies the most delicate materials by bouncing helium atoms off their surfaces could be made within a year, thanks to the development of the world's smoothest mirror. That's the ...

A new super powerful microscope that can examine objects a million times smaller than a human hair has been being unveiled. The instrument will help British scientists in fields such as advanced ...

Researchers at MIT, working with partners at NASA, have developed a new concept for a microscope that would use neutrons — subatomic particles with no electrical charge — instead of beams of light or ...

A tiny mirror could make a huge difference for scientists trying to understand what's happening in the micron-scale structures of living cells. By growing cells on the mirrors and imaging them using ...

A tiny mirror could make a huge difference for scientists trying to understand what's happening in the micron-scale structures of living cells, report investigators. A tiny mirror could make a huge ...
