The principle behind the optical microscope. The optical microscope relies on light and consists of two main lenses: • The objective lens, which magnifies the object you wish to observe ...

MIT’s new neutron microscope is a proof-of-principle, attaining only a four-fold magnification and 10-20 times better illumination than earlier pinhole neutron cameras.

The techniques used in optical microscopy are important to ensure that a sample can be viewed as clearly as possible. ... The basic principles to operate an optical microscope are relatively simple.

In general, hyperspectral optical imaging involves transforming 2D (spatial) images into 3D images (spatial and spectral). This requires specialized instrumentation that image and identify (bio ...

Presented is a Review of the principles and practice of optical sectioning microscopy using planar illumination or structured illumination with descriptions of the advantages and disadvantages of ...

Optical sections contain only the information from the focal plane of the microscope and provide images with higher contrast and axial resolution. Today, several optical sectioning techniques are ...

3D optical microscope is a key metrology technique used in a myriad of industries. White light interferometry (WLI) and confocal microscopy or laser scanning confocal microscopy ... Each technique has ...

The appeal of the super-oscillatory lens optical microscope described here is that it enables subwavelength imaging with, in principle, unlimited resolution using a modified conventional microscope.

Researchers have developed an optical toolbox to build microscopes for a few hundred euros that deliver high-resolution images comparable to commercial microscopes that cost up to a thousand times ...

To tackle this, Schüttpelz and his colleagues turned current techniques on their head. Instead of using a complex microscope with a simple glass slide to hold the sample, their method uses a simple ...

A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, Hasselt University (Belgium) and the University of St Andrews (Scotland) has succeeded in using the quantum mechanical principle of strong ...

German scientists have built a high resolution microscope out of Lego parts and components salvaged from a mobile phone, according to a recent paper published in The Biophysicist. They found that ...
