[RunnerPack] stumbled upon an article from 2001 about building a stereo microscope from a pair of binoculars and a camera lens. With a ring light attached to the end of the camera lens ...

In Nijmegen, Netherlands, researchers have installed the world's first microscope capable of live imaging of biological ...

Compound microscopes are optical and light microscopes that use a single light path. Both monocular and binocular versions are available. Typically, compound microscopes are used for viewing very ...

The binocular head consists of the two eyepieces ... then check out “AZIZ! Light!”, a microscope ring light with a number of different features.

Compound Compound microscopes use a single light path. They can either have a single eyepiece (monocular) or a dual eyepiece (binocular). Compound microscopes have low depth perception but high ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible.

Thanks to the diffraction limit, scientists could use the light microscope to see cells but not the proteins inside them or a virus attacking them. But there are optical microscopes today that can ...

Six years on from the first iMicro smartphone microscope, the team has unveiled its latest: the iMicro Q3p, a fingertip-sized, lightweight device that makes microscopy inexpensive, portable and ...

Researchers from Madrid explain a phenomenon that allows the direction of light emission to be controlled at the atomic scale ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

In the new study, the team describes this well-preserved fossil tadpole. It belongs to the species Notobatrachus degiustoi and dates back about 168 to 161 million years to the Middle Jurassic. Most ...
