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 ...

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 ...

A collection of images taken with scanning electron microscopes (SEM) has been pieced together by London-based science author, Brandon Broll, into a book titled Microcosmos. The images cover anything ...

Scientists are reporting the first 3-D images of an individual protein ever obtained with enough clarity to determine its structure. When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron microscope, ...

Most people know Nikon as a purveyor of pro and consumer-grade digital cameras. But the company's expertise with optics bleeds over into related markets—it's one of the science community's major ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high resolution ...

They look like works of art or photos documenting the discovery of some strange new tropical plants. But these bizarre images are actually insect eggs taken using an extremely powerful electron ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...
