Smaller and more versatile laser confocal microscopy platforms would potentially be of great value for in vivo imaging of live biological specimens, in scenarios where the size of conventional ...

When light reflects off a surface, not all of it reflects off at the same wavelength; some photons impart a portion of their ...

Fast piezo and voice-coil nano-focusing systems keep microscopes and metrology tools sharply focused with nanometer precision ...

TU Darmstadt has once again performed very well in the international competition for research funding: three researchers have been awarded Proof of Concept Grants by the European Research Council (ERC ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have developed a compact, cost-effective diagnostic platform ...

Star Fox is a remake that, for the most part, sticks closely to its source material. The game comprises near one-to-one ...

Attempts to break the diffraction limit with 'super lenses' have all hit the hurdle of extreme visual losses. Now physicists have shown a new pathway to achieve superlensing with minimal losses, ...

When Jasmin Imran Alsous peered down her microscope lens, she expected to see chaos—a mishmash of tangled cells. She was viewing the inside of a male fruit fly's sperm storage organ, using a powerful ...

In 1931, electron microscopy took a major step forward. The first prototype electron microscope is generally dated to 1931, but Ruska later described the first electron microscope in the modern sense ...

Sign up for the daily CJR newsletter. Objectivity hasn’t always been a cornerstone of journalism. American publishers first turned to objectivity in the early ...

Sir Isaac Newton once wrote, in what must be one of the most oft-quoted lines in the history of science, "If I have seen further it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." Well, any of us who ...
