Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair.

The 3D micro-device consists of a modified coverslip and a micro-sphere fabricated by advanced MPL. It can enhance the lateral resolution beyond what is achievable with conventional optics. Today, ...

What happens when you examine a microscope… under another microscope? Discover the intricate craftsmanship, tiny ...

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 from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

The medical landscape undergoes a rapid transformation as precision becomes the standard of care. At the heart of this ...

The mIRage-LS optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) microscope has a spectral range of 3600-2700 and 1800-800 cm-1 for infrared (IR) spectroscopy and a spectral range of 3900 – 200 cm-1 for Raman ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Dr Ben Steventon’s team studies developmental biology - how animals develop from a single cell into a complete organism. They want to understand how cells decide what they’re going to become - like ...

BioAFM is seeing increasingly widespread use in biomedical and biological studies due to its extremely high resolution and its capacity to perform experiments with live cells in liquid and under ...
