Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...

Its not every day that scientists invent a whole new type of microscope, but thats exactly what researchers in Germany have achieved with a new project. A collaboration between Helmholtz Zentrum ...

University of Tokyo researchers have created a powerful new microscope that captures both forward- and back-scattered light at once, letting scientists see everything from large cell structures to ...

Light microscopy does much what the name implies: visible light and magnifying lenses are used to view small objects. Light microscopes are the oldest form of higher quality imaging devices, dating ...

Light microscopy is used to make small structures and samples visible by providing a magnified image of how they interact with visible light, e.g., their absorption, reflection and scattering. This is ...

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 ...

The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses electrons to create an image of the target. It has much higher magnification or resolving power than a normal light microscope. Although ...
