As part of an NWO project, Utrecht researchers have adapted a spectrograph for use in fluorescence microscopes. They coupled the centuries old device to a computer, allowing them to zoom in and ...

A cool project to build a high-power digital microscope recently showed up on the instructables website. Ten minutes and twenty dollars may be a little bit optimistic, but the interesting video makes ...

A group of young students has built a high-resolution microscope solely out of LEGO pieces and a smartphone lens. The fully functional, high-resolution microscope with capabilities close to a modern ...

The earliest example of a stereo microscope was designed and built-in 1671 by Cherubin d’Orleans, though it was a pseudostereoscopic design, which had major flaws. Only by application of additional ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

Portable optical light microscopes are widely used tools in the field of microscopy. Found in laboratories both large and small, as well as schools and colleges, they are a simple and elegant solution ...
