Six years on from the first iMicro smartphone microscope, the team has unveiled its latest: the iMicro Q3p, a fingertip-sized, lightweight device that makes microscopy inexpensive, portable and ...

Condenser lenses are higher-power objective lenses that increase illumination and resolution. These microscope lenses and objectives have very small diameters and are mounted at or below the focusing ...

Huygenian Huygens eyepieces are constructed of two plano-convex lenses with both plane sides facing the eye. Periplan Periplan eyepieces are constructed of one achromatic doublet and two plano-convex ...

Here’s an oldie but a goodie. [RunnerPack] stumbled upon an article from 2001 about building a stereo microscope from a pair of binoculars and a camera lens. With a ring light attached to the ...

If you want to take pictures of tiny things close up, you need a macro lens. Or a microscope. [Nicholas Sherlock] thought “Why not both?” He designed a 3D-printed microscope lens adapter that ...

From spines on neurons to pollen on an insect’s eye, the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo contest offer a kaleidoscopic glimpse into a tiny world.

Because the SEM uses electromagnets rather than lenses, the researcher has much more control in the degree of magnification. All of these advantages, as well as the actual strikingly clear images, ...

"With this microscope, we hope the scientific community ... The slowed beam is then magnified by a lens and then hits a fluorescent material that glows when the beam lands on it.

A man built an improvised high-powered microscope using an old glue stick. He created the portable optical instrument with ...

Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as possible. You should not look through the microscope to do this. Place the microscope slide – either one you have ...

Computational chemistry is on the cusp of a new era, in which physics-based models of molecular systems bring new and unexpected insights into drug discovery. With exascale computing power on the ...

Evident unveiled the winners of its 5th annual Image of the Year contest, an awards competition that recognizes the world’s best in scientific microscopic imaging. The winners were selected from ...
