Its not every day that scientists invent a whole new type of microscope, but thats exactly what researchers in Germany have achieved with a new project. A collaboration between Helmholtz Zentrum ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Conceptual illustration of the bidirectional quantitative scattering microscope, which detects both forward and backward scattered ...

Effective stereo microscope selection depends on understanding application demands and the performance factors that affect 3D ...

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...

There are several different types of scanning probe microscopes, the most prominent of which are atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). There are also many other types, ...

It's an extremely fast microscope," Larsen says. According to Larsen, the tests so far show that this works well, and he believes this type of microscope can eventually be used on all types of samples ...

A new type of atomic force microscope (AFM) uses nanowires as tiny sensors. Unlike standard AFM, the device with a nanowire sensor enables measurements of both the size and direction of forces. A new ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...
