Using parts from Blu-ray players combined with a few 3D printed components Instructables member “ Noselace” has created a fantastic miniature microscope and 3D scanner which can be seen in action in ...

GLONIK has released a new 3D optical microscope that allows users to freely change their views, not only vertical view but also oblique views at arbitrary angles. GLONIK's patented technology provides ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Researchers have designed and built the world’s first microscope ...

Desktop microscopes can be extremely expensive, especially when you go for larger magnifications. One interesting 3D printing mod has used the frame and a 3D printed fitting to create a desktop Ender ...

Over the past few years, citizen scientists have helped illuminate our universe. From mapping refugee camps to cataloging nearby stars, these amateurs often work after hours and without pay, making ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

Microscopes afford us the opportunity to look at particles that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye, but these particles can sometimes be masked by gravity. That’s right, the same force that ...

Researchers from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland built a 3D-printed microscope in under three hours at a total cost of less than GBP 50 (around $60 at current exchange rates).

When a couple of plucky graduate students took the first picture with their pieced-together microscope, it turned out better than they’d hoped. Sure, there was a hole in one section and another was ...

There’s plenty of different methods to build a 3D scanner, with photogrammetry being a particularly accessible way to do it. This involves taking a series of photos from different angles to build up ...
