1) Microscope slides and coverglass are used in many parts of the lab while knowledge of how these items are made and the technical properties they have is limited. 2) By not understanding the ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

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 ...

The humble glass microscope slide may be primed for a makeover. A study published online May 2 in the journal Nature Communications describes how an updated version of this centuries-old tool can now ...

When we look at biological cells under a microscope, they’re usually not very colourful. Normally, to visualise them we have to artificially add colour — typically by staining. By doing so, we can see ...

The SLIDEVIEW DX scanner provides microscope-quality images onscreen. The system’s objective uses the same leading-edge technology as our award-winning X Line ™ series to capture images with ...
