Researchers have created a special flat lens that shapes light into an optical needle—a thin beam that stays tightly focused ...

Leonie Schön's Lamellipodium Art blends medicine and art, turning microscopic images of cells and tissues into striking ...

Schematic of the imaging process. Incoherent light, modulated by the DMD, is directed into the microscope and focused onto the sample plane by the objective lens, creating structured illumination for ...

Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...

Laserdiscs are a video medium that records analog video and audio signals on a 30cm diameter optical disc, and they became popular in the 1980s and 90s. In a video reviewing a digital microscope with ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Abstract: This paper presents the use of a tunable-focus thermoresponsive hydrogel-based liquid lens in combination with an objective lens to achieve remote axial focusing in conventional microscopy.

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

Optical microscopy is a technique employed to closely view a sample through the magnification of a lens with visible light. This is the traditional form of microscopy, which was first invented before ...

Optical microscopes are used to examine living organisms (such as bacteria, yeasts, and single-celled organisms) or fixed samples (like tissue slices) at the cellular level. They also find ...
