As part of an NWO project, Utrecht researchers have adapted a spectrograph for use in fluorescence microscopes. They coupled the centuries old device to a computer, allowing them to zoom in and ...

A cool project to build a high-power digital microscope recently showed up on the instructables website. Ten minutes and twenty dollars may be a little bit optimistic, but the interesting video makes ...

A group of young students has built a high-resolution microscope solely out of LEGO pieces and a smartphone lens. The fully functional, high-resolution microscope with capabilities close to a modern ...

The earliest example of a stereo microscope was designed and built-in 1671 by Cherubin d’Orleans, though it was a pseudostereoscopic design, which had major flaws. Only by application of additional ...

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 ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...
