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 ...

Modern microscopes are essentially very specialized camera systems with a powerful zoom, so it’s not surprising that some of the images scientists take while they work are stunning artworks in their ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is uranyl ...

Electron microscopes (EM) are useful for creating a topographical map of cellular structures and molecules, but since the images are obtained with particle beams of accelerated electrons, the results ...

Using machine learning to guide microscopes could reveal greater insights into the brain's connectome and deepen our ...

There are now various attachments that allow you to capture microscope-scale images with your smartphone. Unfortunately, however, the limitations of the phone's lens and image sensor mean that those ...

This soul-chilling pair of eyes belongs to a common jumping spider. "I find that looking directly into a spider's front eyes is very powerful, as it's a perspective many of us aren't used to," says 19 ...

Researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm for removing systematic effects from atomic force microscopy images, enabling more precise profiles of material surfaces. Atomic force microscopy, ...
