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

The 19th century poet Gerard Manley Hopkins paid homage to the kingfisher’s brilliant plumage in his poem “As Kingfishers ...

In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

It’s always amazing, and more than a little humbling, when the universe reminds us that our “common sense” is provincial and will fall apart on cosmic scales. If you’re on the surface of Earth—and I’m ...

Researchers designed a computational framework that consists of a compact metalens-integrated microscope and a transformer-based neural network, which enables large FOV and subpixel resolution imaging ...
