[A. Cemal Ekin] over on PetaPixel reviewed the Apexel 200X LED Microscope Lens. The relatively inexpensive accessory promises to transform your cell phone camera into a microscope. Of course, lenses ...

To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Until recently, the quest to ...

To observe living cells through a microscope, a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide. It then lies there calmly and the cells are observable. The disadvantage is that this limits how the ...

For the last three years, Idaho National Laboratory researchers David Hurley and Robert Schley have been tinkering away on a new kind of microscope. Yet looking at the complex contraption now — a ...

A unique 3-dimensional microscope that works in a new way is giving unprecedented insight into microscopic internal structure and chemical composition. It is revealing how materials are affected, over ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

A microscope built in the UK is the first in the world to produce 3-D internal pictures of objects. This microscope combines two techniques, X-ray microtomography -- which produces 3-D images from a ...

Editor’s note: Neighbor Spotlight is a monthly feature that aims to let our readers learn more about the people in their communities who are working to make them a better place, who have interesting ...

Great things come in small packages and now scientists have an easier way to see what they look like thanks to a new microscope that creates high-resolution, 3-D images of structures measured in ...

The MV200UM 2-megapixel digital microscope captures images/video via USB 2.0. Providing up to 200x magnification, it employs a white LED illumination ring and two interchangeable clear ring-stands of ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...
