A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

[Birdbrain] is trying to make their own microfluidic devices. To aid in this quest, they need a quality microscope to see what they’re doing. Instead of buying one outright, they purchased a cheap ...

Brief history of microscopy -- Definitions, attributes of visibility and general principles -- Simple and compound light microscopes -- Compound microscopes using reflected light -- Microscopy with ...

Fluorescence microscopy has offered scientists a colorful panorama of the interior of cells. However, as the scale gets well below a micrometer, its ability to resolve key cellular structures such as ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

MR. BECK has in this little book collected and set out in elementary form a considerable amount of information useful to the microscopist. The optics of the instrument are described in a simple manner ...

The earliest example of a stereo microscope was designed and built-in 1671 by Cherubin d’Orleans, though it was a pseudostereoscopic design, which had major flaws. Only by application of additional ...
