Neuroscientists have developed innovative objectives for light microscopy by using mirrors to produce images. Their design finds correspondence in mirror telescopes used in astronomy on the one hand ...

Some species of mussels can see. Scallops, for example, have up to 200 eyes that help them detect predators such as an approaching starfish. However, the eyes of scallops differ significantly from the ...

When reflecting on science and research, it is hard to find a technology that is as important as microscopy. Microscopy is not only of utmost importance as a tool for conducting research, there is ...

A global leader in agricultural genetics sought durable, economical UV microscope objectives. Issues in meeting these objectives included optical design complexity, wavefront control, and fabrication ...

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 ...

The DeltaVision OMX V4 from Applied Precision (GE Healthcare) is a fully automated inverted microscope - objectives are below the stage. The OMX is a multi-mode imaging platform that enables imaging ...

Stereo microscopes are often the first choice when high-quality 3D perception of samples is required in the lab or an industrial facility. Users will frequently spend hours looking through the ...
