Scientists have developed the first adaptive light-sheet microscope -- an instrument that continuously analyzes and adapts to dynamic changes in a specimen and thereby improves spatial resolution.

The world's most advanced light microscopes allow us to see single molecules, proteins, viruses and other very small biological structures -- but even the best microscopes have their limits. Now ...

Since 1987, Sarasota's Dennis Brock has been producing the Brock Magiscope, which draws from ambient light and minimizes ...

A new microscopy technique allowing biologists to see more detail in living specimens without damaging them with intense light has been developed by researchers in the US, Europe and Japan. The method ...

Unlike the light microscopes that use visible light to illuminate the sample, LSCM instead utilizes a focused scanning laser to illuminate a subsurface of a three-dimensional (3D) specimen. The visual ...

Whether you are collecting images for your schoolwork or report with one of the best microscopes for students, keeping a personal record for yourself, or teaching your young ones with the best ...
