Here’s one: Thomas Larson of Seattle, WA has developed a tiny lens that attaches to your smartphone or tablet’s camera and offers a 150x magnification microscope. Larson is raising funds for the ...
Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...
Yesterday, we talked about a new iPhone accessory lens that gives you an artsy look to your photos. Here’s another add-on lens, but, instead of creative effects, it’s more scientific. With the new ...
An electrical engineering professor has developed a lens-free holographic digital microscope platform for mobile devices powerful enough to analyze cells that could be used to analyze T-cells in ...
It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...
A British nanotech invention has revolutionized the humble optical microscope by quadrupling its magnification power to a level far beyond what could previously be achieved with visible light. The new ...
Our smartphones can do some pretty neat stuff — surf the web, check email, take high-res pictures, give us turn-by-turn directions, wake us up, deposit checks, etc., etc. And now, by attaching a tiny ...
To serve remote areas of the world, doctors, nurses and field workers need equipment that is portable, versatile, and relatively inexpensive. Now researchers have built a compact, light-weight, ...
Scientists have developed the first flat lens for immersion microscopy. This lens, which can be designed for any liquid, may provide a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture alternative to the ...
