A robust and portable fluorescence microscope has been developed for on-site asbestos detection. Magnification (approximately x300) can be digitally increased (until x1000). News organizations may ...

When observed using a microscope, these asbestos minerals are bundles of fibers, known as a fibrous asbestiform. The fibrous bundles are similar to rope; and, much like rope, an asbestiform bundle ...

Researchers developed a technique to visualize the same asbestos body using both phase contrast microscopy and analytical transmission electron microscopy. This advancement could standardize the ...

The FDA's proposed rule would require manufacturers test samples of talc-containing cosmetic products for asbestos with methods including polarized light and transmission electron microscopy ...
