Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

Researchers have built a reconfigurable light-sheet microscope that lets users swap oil, water and air objectives while ...

Dr. Jeremy Hollis talks with John Higgins about the two molecular mysteries that he solved on the way to earning his ...

China has produced an electron beam using a cutting-edge electron gun, taking a step towards building a “super microscope” that could help drive breakthroughs in everything from Alzheimer’s research ...

Scientists are combining an electron microscope with a quantum computer to squeeze far more information from each electron. The approach could reveal faint details with fewer electrons, helping ...

Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase-contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain Carlyn Kranking | Associate ...

A transmitting electron microscope (TEM) ready for operation (photo by Nikky on Adobe Stock). Research capabilities are expanding at the Franceschi Microscopy and Imaging Center (FMIC) thanks to the ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950s, scanning electron microscopes ...

Berkeley Lab scientists developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable for crystallography. By combining 4D-STEM with computational “virtual ...

Physically magnifying objects using a key moisture-absorbing ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world. When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass ...
