A pioneering team at the University of Cambridge has showcased today (25 June) work that is revolutionising biological ...

The 3D printing community is simply stirring with excitement over toolchanging printers, but these machines are still the exception rather than the norm. Here’s an exceptional exception: [Pau… ...

The technology consists of a microscope slide that's coated with a type of light-shrinking material called a hyperbolic metamaterial. It is made up of nanometers-thin alternating layers of silver ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments.

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique ...

ABLASCAN, a plug-and-play microscope developed by French deep tech startup Ablatom, can reveal the atomic composition of materials in just milliseconds. Demonstrated at the ongoing CES 2025, the ...

At the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) in Philadelphia, PA, USA, from December 6 to 10, 2014, Leica Microsystems offers visitors a preview of its latest development: a ...

A research group led by Takashi Saito, of the Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine, developed a 2-photon excitation light-sheet fluorescence microscope which (1) lowers phototoxicity, (2 ...

Compound microscopes had been invented in the 1590s nearly forty years before Leeuwenhoek was born. However they were only capable of a magnification of 20x or 30x, whereas Leeuwenhoek's simple ...

Illuminated by fluorescent light and viewed through a powerful confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), the 'Paper Project' aims to show the beauty in the humdrum material.

Diamond Light Source: Giant microscope could help find out how bacterias are able to resist antiobiotics, scientists say 'It paves the way for developing new-generation drugs' Steve Connor ...
