This article discusses what a digital microscope is, how it works, and the benefits of using one. It also provides some examples of how they are used. Rather than using an eyepiece, a digital ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

To observe living cells through a microscope, a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide. It then lies there calmly and the cells are observable. The disadvantage is that this limits how the ...

A unique 3-dimensional microscope that works in a new way is giving unprecedented insight into microscopic internal structure and chemical composition. It is revealing how materials are affected, over ...

Great things come in small packages and now scientists have an easier way to see what they look like thanks to a new microscope that creates high-resolution, 3-D images of structures measured in ...

The new microscope is a so-called multifocus microscope, which provides completely clear images, sorted into different layers, where you can study the cells from all angles. Credit: UiT To observe ...

Professor Timo Betz is a biophysicist at the University of Göttingen in Germany. His name is found on widely cited research papers with serious-sounding titles like Neurite branch retraction is caused ...

A microscope built in the UK is the first in the world to produce 3-D internal pictures of objects. This microscope combines two techniques, X-ray microtomography -- which produces 3-D images from a ...

The MV200UM 2-megapixel digital microscope captures images/video via USB 2.0. Providing up to 200x magnification, it employs a white LED illumination ring and two interchangeable clear ring-stands of ...
