Which USB microscopes are best? The world is an awfully big place. For example, according to the National Science Foundation, the globe is 71% ocean, yet only 5% of that has been discovered or charted ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat objects in a single snapshot. This innovation could speed up research and ...

Microscopy is an essential tool in many fields of science and medicine. However, many groups have limited access to this technology due to its cost and fragility. Now, researchers from the ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Desktop microscopes can be extremely expensive, especially when you go for larger magnifications. One interesting 3D printing mod has used the frame and a 3D printed fitting to create a desktop Ender ...
