Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors using terahertz light. The advance lets scientists observe electronic behavior that remained hidden for ...

Previous articles in the Test & Measurement World Basic Microscopy Series 1 dealt with the optical engineering concepts that microscope designers use to create products. Many of the optical parameters ...

Scientists have developed a faster method for measuring the elasticity of airway walls, a property that can reveal important information about respiratory health. The technique, reported in the ...

Vaginal health is tightly linked to the balance of bacteria in the microbiome, especially certain species of Lactobacillus. When this balance is disturbed-a condition known as dysbiosis-it can lead to ...

Probiotics aren’t universally gut-friendly, a study in mice suggests. At least one type of usually beneficial gut bacteria may invite an unwanted guest. Both Lactobacillus microbes were chosen for the ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. In recent times, there have been leaps and bounds with the kind of microscopes available to us, such as AI-powered microscopes that can help ...

Scripps Oceanography scientists develop cutting-edge microscope to study coral photosynthesis and health An image of Montipora coral polyps taken by the BUMP microscope, a new instrument developed by ...

Doing it yourself may not get you the most precise lab equipment in the world, but it gets you a hands-on appreciation of the techniques that just can’t be beat. Today’s example of this adage: [Stoppi ...

The PhoneMicro5 3-in-1 Smartphone Microscope Kit provides a relatively affordable way to have closer encounters with flora and fauna, as well as capturing photos of fascinating shapes, patterns and ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...
