When you capture an image using an electron microscope, the image may inevitably become distorted or blurred. In order to correct this aberration, a method to clear the image by placing a correction ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

Researchers propose a synergistic computational imaging framework that provides wide-field, subpixel resolution imaging without added optical complexity via a metalens-transformer design. They ...

This image taken by the new microscope shows a living bone cancer cell with nucleus (blue), mitochondria (green) and cytoskeleton (magenta). Bielefeld University/W. Hübner When you want to look at ...

A tiny mirror could make a huge difference for scientists trying to understand what's happening in the micron-scale structures of living cells, report investigators. A tiny mirror could make a huge ...

The deadly Nipah virus and others like it assemble themselves in a much more haphazard manner than previously thought, new UBC research has found. The discovery could allow scientists to develop more ...

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...

Electron microscopy has allowed scientists to see individual atoms, but even at that resolution, not everything is clear. The lenses of electron microscopes have intrinsic imperfections known as ...

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 ...

Simple design: the LEGO microscope (left) and a technical drawing of the instrument. The black eyepiece is at the top, and also visible is the black wheel that is used to adjust the position of the ...
