Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), ...

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

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

The 3D micro-device consists of a modified coverslip and a micro-sphere fabricated by advanced MPL. It can enhance the lateral resolution beyond what is achievable with conventional optics. Today, ...

Researchers used consumer-grade 3D printers to create sub-$1 optical lenses that enable super-resolution nanoscale biological ...

Since 1987, Sarasota's Dennis Brock has been producing the Brock Magiscope, which draws from ambient light and minimizes ...
