A microscope built in the UK is the first in the world to produce 3-D internal pictures of objects. This microscope combines two techniques, X-ray microtomography -- which produces 3-D images from a ...

Haley Mast is a freelance writer, fact-checker, and small organic farmer in the Columbia River Gorge. She enjoys gardening, reporting on environmental topics, and spending her time outside ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high resolution ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

Nikon just announced the winners of the 2024 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, where scientific microscope images become art. This year’s top prize went to Bruno Cisterna, who (assisted ...

There's a limit to what you can learn about cells from 2D pictures, but creating 3D images is a time-intensive process. Now, scientists from UT Southwestern have developed a new "simple and ...

New images from the CDC show the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus in samples taken from the first American case of COVID-19. Coronavirus particles are artificially colored in blue. We’ve all seen pictures of the ...

Researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm for removing systematic effects from atomic force microscopy images, enabling more precise profiles of material surfaces. Atomic force microscopy, ...

[JBumstead] didn’t want an ordinary microscope. He wanted one that would show the big picture, and not just in a euphemistic sense, either. The problem though is one of resolution. The higher the ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister ...
