Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A new microscope combines a normal optical scope with a see ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Direct visualization and manipulation of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in ambient conditions is of great significance for their characterizations and applications. However, ...

Accurate measurement results depend on regular microscope calibration to ensure consistency and reliability across scientific and industrial use.

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet printers: They all produce or contain liquid droplets so tiny it would take several billion of them to fill a liter bottle. Measuring the volume, motion and contents ...

New work enables optical microscopes to measure these nanometer-scale details with a new level of accuracy. Over the last two decades, scientists have discovered that the optical microscope can be ...

The techniques used in optical microscopy are important to ensure that a sample can be viewed as clearly as possible. This will provide information about its microscopic appearance. An optical ...

GLONIK has released a new 3D optical microscope that allows users to freely change their views, not only vertical view but also oblique views at arbitrary angles. GLONIK's patented technology provides ...

Scientists from the University of Manchester have announced the development of the world's most powerful optical microscope. Called the "microsphere nanoscope," the device captures non-diffracted near ...

Left, a tissue sample dyed by traditional methods. Centre, a computed stain created from infrared–optical hybrid imaging. Right, tissue types identified with infrared data; the pink in this image ...

Widely considered the most common type of microscope, Optical Microscopes magnify visible light to allow for the examination of features too small for the naked eye. This kind of microscope is ...

Since the invention of the optical microscope in the 17th century, a remarkable evolution can be observed in the microscope’s performance and diversity. On the other hand, if we focus on its structure ...
