A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

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 ...

Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured reporting about current events through a science lens. The new microscope uses a 405 nm laser—the same wavelength ...

Over the past few decades, light microscopy has become an important and widely used tool in forensic science research. It is a fast and accessible method, and is non-destructive, which is useful when ...

Researchers have created a method to design custom masks that transform 2D fluorescent microscopy images into 3D movies. Rice University researchers have added a new dimension to their breakthrough ...

A new momentum microscopy experimental station for photoelectron spectroscopy resolved in 3D momentum space with a microscopic field of view has been built at BL6U of UVSOR *, Institute for Molecular ...

Bioengineer Manu Prakash and his team at Stanford University have designed a light microscope that not only fits in your pocket but costs less than a dollar to make. "So the starting material looks ...
