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 ...

The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses electrons to create an image of the target. It has much higher magnification or resolving power than a normal light microscope. Although ...

GEOMETRICAL optics in its relation to instruments has been studied to great advantage abroad; we in England have of recent years somewhat neglected the subject, with the result that only a small share ...

Scientists design an optical microscope that overcomes the trade-off between field-of-view and resolving power. Called an Adaptive Scanning Optical Microscope (ASOM), the Rensselaer design combines a ...

Picking up one of these cheap iPhone microscopes costs only a couple of bucks, but frankly the magnification on them isn’t too hot, making it more for fun than anything else. Researchers from UC Davis ...

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...
