We’ve all likely seen the amazing images possible with a scanning electron microscope. An SEM can yield remarkably detailed 3D images of the tiniest structures, and they can be invaluable tools for ...

Scientists can’t study what they can’t measure — as David Muller knows only too well. An applied physicist, Muller has been grappling for years with the limitations of the best imaging tools available ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists invented ...

It wasn’t that long ago that if you had an optical microscope in your electronics shop, you had a very well-supplied shop indeed. Today, though, a microscope is almost a necessity since parts have ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. In recent times, there have been leaps and bounds with the kind of microscopes available to us, such as AI-powered microscopes that can help ...

A new momentum microscopy experimental station for photoelectron spectroscopy resolved in 3D momentum space with a microscopic field of view has been built at BL6U of UVSOR *, Institute for Molecular ...

Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as possible. You should not look through the microscope to do this. Place the microscope slide – either one you have prepared, ...

Many corals are sensitive to bright light, so capturing their dynamics with traditional microscopes is a challenge. To work around their photosensitivity, researchers developed a custom light-sheet ...

If you walked into a classroom laboratory you would probably see a cupboard full of microscopes, used maybe just a handful of times a year, old but still in good shape, clean and ready to go. Then ...
