A compound microscope uses two lens systems in series — an objective that forms a magnified real image, and an eyepiece that magnifies that image again — which is what separates it from a simple ...
With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...
A team of scientists in the lab of Changhuei Yang at Caltech has developed an inexpensive, robust method for autofocusing microscopes that involves little more than a couple of LED lights and some ...
Brief history of microscopy -- Definitions, attributes of visibility and general principles -- Simple and compound light microscopes -- Compound microscopes using reflected light -- Microscopy with ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...
Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...
Microscopes are typically used to collect qualitative information, such as to observe the behavior of microscopic organisms or watch cell replication in real time. But they’re also very useful in ...
