Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

Built with sturdy materials, yet manufactured economically, the AmScope M150C is portable and the PS25 version comes with a selection of prepared slides; a good choice for a beginner to use at home, ...

Light field microscopy was first introduced in 2006, and allows users to capture the 4D light field within the microscope, resulting in 3D volumetric imaging with a single snapshot. Data from light ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat ...

As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes ...

"Using newly developed special light microscopy, which can image the molecular density of cellular environments, we found that crowding around chromosomes increases during cell division, leading to a ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created a miniaturized microscope for real-time ... system was well-suited for large objects in environments with minimal light scattering, ...
