Engineers at the California Institute of Technology have designed a dime-sized lensless microscope able to capture high-resolution images of cells and pathogens. The low-cost, portable technology ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

AR Micro-Blocks have been created to provide users with a new augmented reality microscope that uses the power of your tablet or iPhone to help you explore a microscopic world normally unseen to the ...

Current medical diagnostics involve sending samples to laboratory facilities, which can be difficult and expensive. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have designed a ...

The high sensitivity of the reflection electron microscopy (REM) technique to small changes in the crystal structure and composition of the top surface layers of various crystalline materials makes it ...

A team of researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, akin to having X-ray vision. Their new technique -- which they aptly named 'Crystal Clear' -- ...

Thanks to over 4,000 backers the amazingly powerful iMicro Q2p phone microscope campaign on Kickstarter has raised over $250,000 and has now entered its final week. Offering an affordable, tiny ...

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...
