Which compound microscope is best? Anybody who is into science has probably thought about getting a microscope. But with so many different types available, it can be overwhelming to decide on the ...

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

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

Versatile, portable, inexpensive and packed with features, the Swift SW200DL Compound Monocular Microscope is an excellent choice for beginners, students or enthusiasts looking for a little fun. Why ...

The mIRage-LS optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) microscope has a spectral range of 3600-2700 and 1800-800 cm-1 for infrared (IR) spectroscopy and a spectral range of 3900 – 200 cm-1 for Raman ...

A new imaging technology uses polarized 'optical vortices' to provide a detailed, dynamic view of molecules in motion. Understanding the nitty gritty of how molecules interact with each other in the ...

Optical and scanning electron microscope images of a nano-LED device that uses AC power instead of DC power, which could be a game-changer for sharper near-eye displays. Journalists may use this image ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...
