Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat ...

The mechanism of a confocal laser scanning microscope is to irradiate an object with a laser beam emitted from a light source, scan the entire object in two directions, the X-axis and the Y-axis, and ...

Laser scanning microscopes are useful for all kinds of tiny investigations. As it turns out, you can build one using parts salvaged from a Blu-ray player, as demonstrated by [Doctor Volt]. The trick ...

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 ...

A group of young students has built a high-resolution microscope solely out of LEGO pieces and a smartphone lens. The fully functional, high-resolution microscope with capabilities close to a modern ...
