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. The UArizona ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

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 ...

In a sunny third-floor office at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, Philipp Keller is showing off the optics for his latest microscope. They’re not ...

O 2 is a particularly reactive gas, and certain materials are incompatible with it. Oxidation processes are activated as quick as particular samples are exposed to the atmosphere. This impacts the ...

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 ...

A self-described osteopathic physician who claims she saw a self-aware organism point at her from a sterile COVID-19 vaccine sample has likely misjudged her findings of common contamination debris, ...

A microscope’s job is to magnify the minuscule world around us. We can observe the tiniest objects, organisms and materials, and investigate their form, texture and composition, to witness what would ...

Optical microscopy is a technique employed to closely view a sample through the magnification of a lens with visible light. This is the traditional form of microscopy, which was first invented before ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat objects in a single snapshot. This innovation could speed up research and ...
