Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

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

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

A fully open-source platform provides a compact rheometer that can be easily combined with optical microscopy, allowing ...

News Medical talks to Samuel Penwell and Winfried Wiegraebe about how the Vutara VXL enables robust, high-throughput 3D super-resolution via single-molecule localization, pairing bi-plane detection ...

Polyprolines of different lengths, relatively stiff polypeptides, served as intramolecular “nanometer rulers” to demonstrate the highest MINFLUX resolutions in the Förster resonance energy transfer ...

Researchers in Germany and Australia have created a simple but powerful tool to detect nanoplastics—tiny, invisible particles that can slip through skin and even the blood-brain barrier. Using an ...

Failure analysis typically begins with identifying a region of interest (ROI) on a sample for detailed examination using tools such as a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Focused Ion Beam (FIB), or ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...
