San Francisco, CA, and Leuven, Belgium. At next week’s SPIE Photonics West 2016, imec will demonstrate a lens-free microscope for large field-of-view live imaging at micrometer resolution. imec’s ...

Chinese research team recently developed a head-mounted microscope, which only weighs 1.7 gram, for neurovascular imaging that enables the simultaneous imaging of neural and hemodynamic activities at ...

St. Louis, Mo. (June 9, 2014) – With a new molecular imaging system powerful enough to peer down to 20-micrometer resolution, researchers can now use radioluminescence to examine the characteristics ...

Usually, catalytic reactions are analyzed by checking which chemicals go into a chemical reactor and which come out. But as it turns out, in order to properly understand and optimize catalysts, much ...

Researchers have developed a method to improve the resolution of a conventional wide-field optical microscope. Scattered light usually reduces the resolution of conventional optical microscopes. The ...

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...

Ion beam microscopes, or focused ion beam microscopes (FIB), use a beam of ions to image a sample with a sub-micrometer level of detail. The focused ion beam can directly change or "mill" the sample ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Modern understanding of technology recognizes miniaturized integration as a pivotal advance that facilitates low-cost production and typically leads to improved performance and unanticipated ...
