Researchers have applied lensless imaging technology to create the world's smallest microscope. The microscope generates holographic, or 3-D, images of microparticles or cells by employing a ...

A new microscope invented by scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus will let researchers use an exquisitely thin sheet of light -- similar to that used in ...

A noninvasive, polarized light microscope invented at the Marine Biological Laboratory played a crucial role in a recent breakthrough in embryonic stem-cell research aimed at developing medical ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

One look through something called a confocal microscope was all it took for William Sunderland to make a drastic change in his career plans. A math student with what appeared to be a bright future in ...

Since ancient times, it has been known that glass can bend light. Light is made up of electromagnetic waves and with properties such as wavelength and frequency, light usually behaves like a wave and ...
