Ordinary microscopes can see 8 times more minutely than known physical limits if miniature glass spheres are sprinkled onto samples, according to a new study. The cheapest and most common microscopes ...

A giant inflatable E. coli has appeared in central Brno, highlighting the city’s electron microscopy tradition and the upcoming Days of Electron Microscopy festival.

We can directly see the hidden world of atoms thanks to electron microscopes, first developed in the 1930s. Today, electron microscopes, which use beams of electrons to illuminate and magnify a sample ...

Collaboration between deep learning experts and microscopy experts leads to an significantly improved data-intensive light-field microscopy method by using AI and ground-truthing it with light-sheet ...

For those of you who haven’t visited the websites of Carl Zeiss or Nikon lately, fluorescent microscopes are expensive. Typically, microscopes of the sort required by pathologists to make diagnosis ...

X-ray vision was state-of-the-art when Superman launched his career in the 1930s. But if the superhero wants to keep pace with the modern world of nanotechnology, he should upgrade to electron vision, ...

There's a limit to what you can learn about cells from 2D pictures, but creating 3D images is a time-intensive process. Now, scientists from UT Southwestern have developed a new "simple and ...

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

A new microscope can be printed on a flat piece of paper and assembled with a few extra components in less than 10 minutes. All the parts to make it cost less than a dollar, according to Stanford ...
