Engineers from the University of California San Diego have developed a new technology that lets ordinary microscopes see in higher resolution than previously possible. The new technology improves the ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

Super resolution: image taken using the new chip. (Courtesy: Bielefeld University / Robin Diekmann) A photonic chip that allows a conventional microscope to work at nanoscale resolution has been ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Composite of three mages from new microscope technology show a cell's replication machinery in green, already-replicated DNA is ...

A project at Swiss research center EPFL has designed an add-on unit intended to bring structured light capability to a standard optical microscope. Described in Nature Communications, the design ...

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 ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
