Its not every day that scientists invent a whole new type of microscope, but thats exactly what researchers in Germany have achieved with a new project. A collaboration between Helmholtz Zentrum ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Conceptual illustration of the bidirectional quantitative scattering microscope, which detects both forward and backward scattered ...

There are several different types of scanning probe microscopes, the most prominent of which are atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). There are also many other types, ...

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...

A new type of atomic force microscope (AFM) uses nanowires as tiny sensors. Unlike standard AFM, the device with a nanowire sensor enables measurements of both the size and direction of forces. A new ...

When Eugene Cho sold microscopes for Nikon Instruments for a dozen years, he would always ask potential customers whether they needed an upright or an inverted microscope. The uprights have the lenses ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...
