There are many types of microscopy, each providing a unique set of benefits. Light microscopy of cells that express fluorescently labelled molecules, for example, lets scientists observe the movements ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

In this interview, AZoM talks with Dr. Mike Bradley from Thermo Scientific about their exciting iN10 FT-IR Microscope. Infrared microanalysis offers some unique research and analysis opportunities.

There are several techniques that can be used to operate a scanning probe microscope. The choice of which method to use will depend on the situation at hand and the purpose. Scanning probe microscopes ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional optical and digital products for medicine, science, and industry, Olympus celebrates 100 years of innovation in 2019. Olympus provides ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A new type of microscope may give doctors a better idea of how safely and effectively a medication will perform in the body. A Purdue University team developed the microscope ...

On August 10, 1982, IBM won US patent 4,343,993 for the invention of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), the first microscope that allowed researchers to “see” at the atomic scale. The invention ...

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...

Ever since Robert Hooke first made his beautiful sketches of magnified insects, scientists have been peering at the world through microscopes. The microscopic world generally refers to things humans ...

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...
