(Nanowerk News) Researchers can now see the molecules inside cells using standard light microscopes. Traditionally, light microscopes could only reveal the shape of large structures inside cells, and ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Engineers from the University of California San Diego have developed a new technology that lets ordinary microscopes see in higher resolution than previously possible. The new technology improves the ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

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, ...

Portable optical light microscopes are widely used tools in the field of microscopy. Found in laboratories both large and small, as well as schools and colleges, they are a simple and elegant solution ...

Researchers have created a method to design custom masks that transform 2D fluorescent microscopy images into 3D movies. Rice University researchers have added a new dimension to their breakthrough ...

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 ...
