Researchers at the University of Kentucky have developed a cost-effective, non-destructive microscopy technique to study cancer cell metabolism at the single-cell level. Published in Biophotonics ...

An infrared microscope designed by a University of Iowa team led by Thomas Folland helped produce information that could help ...

The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy. In 1873, the German physicist Ernst Abbe realized that the resolution of ...

Researchers have now used the technology to build a fully functioning optical microscope for just $60. Researchers at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, built the microscope using ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

When the German computer pioneer Konrad Zuse built the world’s first programmable computer in war time Berlin, it performed floating point arithmetic at a clock speed of between 5 and 10 Hz. The ...

NEW ORLEANS — Mike Pereira made his way to a chair waiting for him inside a meeting room at the Convention Center here Thursday when he began to laugh at the crowd of media waiting for him.

When selecting a microscope, it’s important to consider various features, such as the field of view, frame construction, lighting, optical quality and resolution. There are several types of ...

These optical clocks are still being assessed, but already now, some are 100 times more accurate than cesium clocks. They will therefore become the future basis for the worldwide definition of the ...
