The techniques used in optical microscopy are important to ensure that a sample can be viewed as clearly as possible. This will provide information about its microscopic appearance. An optical ...

EPFL scientists have developed a new type of microscope slide that can boost the amount of light in fluorescence microscopy by a factor of up to 25. These new slides can both amplify and direct light, ...

A new study describes how an updated version of the microscope slide can enable scientists to see tiny objects while also measuring their temperature. The advancement, made possible by a new ...

Biomedical engineers have demonstrated a lensless on-chip microscopy platform that eliminates several of the most common problems with conventional optical microscopy and provides a low-cost option ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...

Martin Jones describes how new approaches to electron microscopy are helping biomedical scientists get the most out of ever-increasing flows of data Thinly sliced This focused ion beam scanning ...

One variation of electron microscopy is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In a TEM experiment, the electron beam passes through the sample and the electrons are directly imaged onto an electron ...
