Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...

Everyone who ever took a photo knows the problem: if you want a detailed image, you need a lot of light. In microscopy, however, too much light is often harmful to the sample—for example, when imaging ...

A "lensless" x-ray microscope that can take pictures of biological samples in their natural environment has been developed in the UK. Physicists used several overlapping diffraction patterns to create ...

At Neuroscience 2019, the 49 th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, Bruker (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the release of the Luxendo LCS SPIM light-sheet fluorescence microscope for fast ...

Straining to see the details? Scientists struggling to make out tiny features of samples under the microscope could opt for expensive, higher-resolution equipment – or they could just inflate the ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing a COVID-19 testing method that uses a smartphone microscope to analyze saliva samples and deliver results in about 10 minutes.

Organic samples can now be studied in its undamaged state, thanks to a microscope developed by Australian researchers. University of Newcastle School of Mathematics and Physical Sciences Professor ...

The new type of microscope makes light travel in a circle. That way it can interact multiple times with the sample. Everyone who ever took a photo knows the problem: if you want a detailed image, you ...
