By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

Bits of rock and dust brought back from the distant asteroid Bennu contain some of the chemical building blocks of life, NASA announced Wednesday, a discovery that strengthens the theory that ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

Over 50 years ago, the first commercially available SEM was unveiled. Yet, to this day no internationally accepted standard exists for the determination of SEM resolution. Further, to confuse matters ...

Although cryo-electron microscopy is a powerful method for determining the structures of nanoparticles and biological molecules, it still faces challenges. For example, sample movement can cause image ...

A new ultrasonic test method can acquire high-resolution shale data in the lab by using new geometries for sample testing with specialized equipment suited for measuring shale formations at reservoir ...

16S sequencing is used to detect and examine bacteria according to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene present in prokaryotic organisms. Amplifying and sequencing this gene can help researchers contrast ...

The microscope combines a big telecentric photolithography lens with a large tube lens to create sharp, detailed images of large and curved samples. These lenses project the image onto a flat array of ...
