Traditionally, X-ray methods require at least 10,000 atoms to generate a detectable signal. This is because the X-ray signal ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Cancer patients often lose excessive amounts of weight. This affects up to 80% of patients and is mainly due to a decrease in ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have optimized and 3D-printed helix structures as optical ...

Every face is unique. Genetics helps to determine our features, but sometimes genes have errors which, in early fetal ...

Understanding optical resolution is key in microscopy, highlighting the diffraction limit and innovations in super-resolution ...

Vision Engineering's ProteQ VISO is a 3D digital stereo microscope that integrates an autostereo display for eyepiece-free viewing. The system uses twin cameras and eye-tracking to generate a ...

Microscopic fibers secretly shape how every organ in the body works, yet they’ve been notoriously hard to study—until now. A new imaging technique called ComSLI reveals hidden fiber orientations in ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next ...
