A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

Scientists at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History have developed methods to digitize microscope slides, revealing billions of microfossils previously uncounted in collections. The ...

Researchers at the University of California are working on a technology that is able to enhance the resolution of a standard light microscope, allowing it to directly view finer structures and details ...

Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as possible. You should not look through the microscope to do this. Place the microscope slide – either one you have prepared, ...

A miniature photograph of the moon, beard hairs whose owner has been dead for centuries, a shaving of Egyptian mummy bone, flowerlike patterns constructed from butterfly scales and algae called ...

New MUSE technology obtains high-resolution images of fresh biopsies for analysis within minutes, eliminating need for conventional slides and preserving original tissue sample. MUSE image of ...

Australian researchers have brought the humble glass slide, used in millions of microscopes around the world, into the 21st century. They’ve used nanotechnology to turn this small piece of plain glass ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The humble glass microscope slide may be primed for a makeover. A study published online today (May 2, 2018) in the journal Nature Communications describes how an updated version of ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...
