Constructed with an LCD digital display, multiple lenses and XY stage plate navigation, the Celestron PentaView feels professional, enables specimens to be viewed by a large audience and is an ...

Light microscopy is one of the most essential technologies in life science research. Advances in optoelectronic detectors and the widespread availability of laser-based light sources have led to the ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

A microscope’s job is to magnify the minuscule world around us. We can observe the tiniest objects, organisms and materials, and investigate their form, texture and composition, to witness what would ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

For centuries, the field of pathology has been defined by a single instrument: the microscope. But according to William ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...
