WHEN an unstained preparation is viewed through the microscope by transmitted light (substage), light parts of it may appear black for one of two reasons: either they absorb much light or they reflect ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes.

Brightfield microscopy has been widely used for hundreds of years, while reflection contrast microscopy is relatively new technology. As one of the earliest and simplest microscopy techniques, ...

Lenses are no longer necessary for some microscopes, according to Rice University engineers developing FlatScope, a thin fluorescent microscope whose abilities promise to surpass those of old-school ...

Engineers are developing their FlatScope as a fluorescent microscope able to capture three-dimensional data and produce images from anywhere within the field. Lenses are no longer necessary for some ...

iSCAT is an interferometry method that detects elastic Rayleigh scattering in addition to reflected or transmission signals ...
