This article discusses what a digital microscope is, how it works, and the benefits of using one. It also provides some examples of how they are used. Rather than using an eyepiece, a digital ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSMs) use a laser to generate a digital image of a given sample. Confocal microscopes work in tandem with ‘fluorescent tagging’, which involves the alteration of ...

A microscope built in the UK is the first in the world to produce 3-D internal pictures of objects. This microscope combines two techniques, X-ray microtomography -- which produces 3-D images from a ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in the United States and Spain have discovered that a tool widely used in nanoscale imaging works differently in watery environments, a step toward better using the ...

University of Tokyo researchers have created a powerful new microscope that captures both forward- and back-scattered light ...

Professor Timo Betz is a biophysicist at the University of Göttingen in Germany. His name is found on widely cited research papers with serious-sounding titles like Neurite branch retraction is caused ...

Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high resolution ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

Sometimes, you never knew you wanted something until someone drops it in your lap. That’s exactly what Bodelin Technologies has done with their smartphone-powered ProScope Micro Mobile microscope.

The MV200UM 2-megapixel digital microscope captures images/video via USB 2.0. Providing up to 200x magnification, it employs a white LED illumination ring and two interchangeable clear ring-stands of ...
