Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

The M25 multi-focus microscope uses separate cameras to capture images from 25 focal planes at different depths in a sample. (Photo by Eduardo Hirata) The aberration-corrected multi-focus microscopy ...

Vladimir Zworykin (seated) and James Hillier demonstrate an early electron microscope. RCA Corp, founded in 1919 as the Radio Corporation of America, was, according to its website, an electronics ...

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...

Light microscopy does much what the name implies: visible light and magnifying lenses are used to view small objects. Light microscopes are the oldest form of higher quality imaging devices, dating ...

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 ...
