Confocal microscopy is a very popular imaging technique for high-quality imaging of biological samples, especially in thicker specimens. Confocal imaging enables the capture of high-contrast images, ...

Researchers use laboratory tools every day to help them make groundbreaking discoveries. Read on to find out which ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated that deep learning, a powerful form of artificial intelligence, can discern and enhance microscopic details in photos taken by smartphones. The technique improves the ...

Although there is no strict size definition for what constitutes a 'benchtop' scale instrument, it is usually considered to be hardware that would reasonably fit on top of a laboratory bench without ...

I just made a major improvement in my lab bench by removing the instrument shelf. When I was a Silicon Valley consultant, I had a complete lab with a high-speed bench, fab area, and temperature ...

I visit a lot of molecular biology labs, and most of them look pretty much identical: lab benches, microscopes, computers, messy break rooms, big filing cabinets crammed into every free corner. When ...
