For roughly 400 years, microscopes have allowed us to observe increasingly smaller details. Today's most advanced instruments ...

You don’t have to be a numismatist to enjoy looking at coins under a microscope. An enthusiast will be able to find pockets of lead, patterns of lustre and flaws from heating, cooling and striking ...

These stunning images show the world from under a microscope. From spines on neurons to pollen on an insect’s eye, the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo contest offer a kaleidoscopic ...

Ward could only produce about 200 images per day when he was earning his doctorate at Scripps from 2003 to 2008, when he was using a far less powerful type of cryo-electron microscope. And he had ...

The microscope can’t capture images of a single electron yet — that would require extremely high spatial resolution. But by stringing the collected images together, ...

To address this issue, researchers have developed a new image-processing method for electron microscope images that selectively enhances the visibility of areas in which rubber molecules aggregate ...

In 2017, they described a fast, high-resolution, miniature two-photon microscope that produced one-hour recordings of neural activity from tiny nerve-cell protrusions called dendritic spines 4.

Seen through a microscope, a cornucopia of common crops offer lessons on new techniques for making agriculture more sustainable. Pizza lovers no doubt will appreciate the flower bud of the ...

While the original electron microscope arrived in the early 1930’s (there’s still a controversy to this day over who invented the very first one), scientists have relied on what are known as ...

A new machine-learning technique has significantly reduced noise in images taken by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). ... Specifically, we trained an autoencoder on a dataset made of ...
