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

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 ...

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 ...

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

Art curators and conservators now can quickly get far more detailed information than ever before by using an integrated combination of light and electron microscopy. OBERKOCHEN/Germany, ...

Which stereo microscopes are best? Depending on how you plan to use it, finding the best stereo microscope for your needs can actually make a huge difference. However, making sense of the various ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Despite having extensive research about living and non-living things, mankind is still barely touching the surface of science, and there are many questions still left unanswered. In order to answer ...

Understanding when and why a cell dies is fundamental to the study of human development, disease and aging. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...
