Researchers typically keep two microscopes in the lab — a traditional upright device for viewing dry slides and an inverted microscope to examine live samples. San Diego start-up Echo has created a ...

There are now various attachments that allow you to capture microscope-scale images with your smartphone. Unfortunately, however, the limitations of the phone's lens and image sensor mean that those ...

Germany’s Max Planck Society and the microscope maker Leica Microsystems have joined forces to commercialize a new technique to allow optical microscopes to look at even smaller objects than was ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Upton-based research facility, broke ground recently for its Laboratory of BioMolecular Structure. The facility, which should be running fully in 2020, will serve ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes to analyse samples and detect diseases , thanks to an open-source design created at the University of Bath. The ...

New research shows that a portable, battery-operated fluorescence microscope, which costs $240, stacks up nicely against devices that retail for as much as $40,000 in diagnosing signs of tuberculosis.

There are many types of microscopy, each providing a unique set of benefits. Light microscopy of cells that express fluorescently labelled molecules, for example, lets scientists observe the movements ...

UCLA researchers determined sperm carrying a Y chromosome swim differently than sperm carrying an X chromosome. In a study published October, Aydogan Ozcan, professor of electrical and computer ...

Kutztown University dedicated a new research laboratory Saturday at a ceremony in Boehm Science Center. The Fred and Martha Hafer Scanning Electron Microscope Laboratory advances the quality of ...
