Usually, catalytic reactions are analyzed by checking which chemicals go into a chemical reactor and which come out. But as it turns out, in order to properly understand and optimize catalysts, much ...

San Francisco, CA, and Leuven, Belgium. At next week’s SPIE Photonics West 2016, imec will demonstrate a lens-free microscope for large field-of-view live imaging at micrometer resolution. imec’s ...

St. Louis, Mo. (June 9, 2014) – With a new molecular imaging system powerful enough to peer down to 20-micrometer resolution, researchers can now use radioluminescence to examine the characteristics ...

Chinese research team recently developed a head-mounted microscope, which only weighs 1.7 gram, for neurovascular imaging that enables the simultaneous imaging of neural and hemodynamic activities at ...

Imec has demonstrated a lens-free microscope for large field-of-view live imaging at micrometer resolution. Imec’s on-chip lens-free microscope can be integrated into life sciences and biotech tools, ...

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...

Scientists created a tiny matrix that stores data by etching its grid into a thin ceramic film with a focused ion beam.

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.

Calibration is the process of adjusting and verifying that an instrument, for example, an optical microscope, is taking measurements accurately by comparing them to a known measurement standard or ...

Microscopes provide valuable insights in the structure and dynamics of cells, in particular when the latter remain in their natural environment. However, this is very difficult especially for higher ...
