Effective stereo microscope selection depends on understanding application demands and the performance factors that affect 3D ...

Researchers have created an optical lens that can be placed on an inexpensive smartphone to magnify images by a magnitude of 120, all for just 3 cents a lens. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

An inexpensive, little optical lens can turn any cheap old smartphone into a microscope. A penny’s worth of materials can achieve high resolution images of one micrometer length and at a magnification ...

If you would like to explore a world that cannot be seen with the naked eye, you may be interested in the new camera phone microscope small enough to balance on your fingertip and created by the team ...

Optical microscopic imaging resolution has a theoretical limit of approximately 200 nm within the visible light spectrum due to the far-field diffraction limit, which prevents the technique from being ...

A British nanotech invention has revolutionized the humble optical microscope by quadrupling its magnification power to a level far beyond what could previously be achieved with visible light. The new ...

iMicro Q2p is a new tiny phone microscope designed to be used with almost any modern smart phone whether it be Android or iOS powered, allowing you to discover a world normally hidden from view. The ...

Cells are tiny, so we use microscopes to see their details. A slide is a thin piece of glass used to hold objects which are examined under a microscope. Peel a thin layer of cells from an onion. Place ...

We need microscopes to study most cells. Microscopes are used to produce magnified images. There are two main types of microscope: Glass was developed by the Romans in the first century. Since then, ...
