Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Germany’s Max Planck Society and the microscope maker Leica Microsystems have joined forces to commercialize a new technique to allow optical microscopes to look at even smaller objects than was ...

Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

As the super-resolution microscopy industry evolves, experimental needs and demands change alongside it. More and more, demand for super-resolution microscopy on live samples has grown and caught the ...

Our approach to super-resolution microscopy is fundamentally different from most existing techniques such as stimulated emission depletion microscopy, structured illumination microscopy, or ...

A new UK university spin-out company says that it will “democratize” the use of super-resolution microscopy, with a desktop-style system no larger than a shoebox. Oxford Nanoimaging (ONI), which was ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

The University of Delaware's Bio-Imaging Center can now offer researchers a cool, new cutting-edge tool for peering into cells. It's called a "super-resolution" microscope, and only a handful of ...

Ground has been broken on a state-of-the-art research center at Brookhaven National Laboratory to house two advanced electron microscopes that will allow imaging of biological structures in ...

Optical microscopes are still second to none when it comes to analyzing biological samples. However, their low resolution, improved only in recent years in STED microscopes, continues to be a problem.

A handmade super-microscope -- capable of seeing the actual building blocks of a bacterial cell wall -- has helped researchers decipher how bacteria are able to literally build a wall against the ...
