By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

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 ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) uses a finely focused beam of electrons in order to produce a high resolution image of a sample. SEM images have a three dimensional appearance, which is very useful ...

TEM works by transmitting a beam of electrons through an ultra-thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the specimen, they are scattered or transmitted, producing an image that is magnified and ...

Bates College is now home to a state-of-the-art microscope, only the second of its kind in the state, that professors call a “game-changer” for student learning and faculty research. Called a ...

Long seen as a reliable workhorse, the scanning electron microscope also has a more exciting side. Debbie Stokes explains why a ‘quiet revolution’ is occurring in some SEM labs. Since the first ...

Indian American researcher’s new AI-enhanced scanning method promises to boost quest for high-resolution mapping of the brain ...

Wood has a number of natural advantages, making it a particularly unique material. These include a high strength-to-density ratio, the consumption of CO 2 during its growth, and a complex ...
