A reliable and efficient technique has been developed for the mounting, location and quick re-location of palynological specimens in strew mounts for SEM (scanning electron microscope) and subsequent ...

"We developed a new microscope using ultrathin light sheets derived from two-dimensional (2D) optical lattices," Betzig and colleagues wrote. "These are scanned plane-by-plane through the specimen ...

(a) Conceptual illustration of the basic idea underlying the optical implementation of our light-sheet microscope for simultaneous multiview imaging. The specimen is attached to a thin cylindrical ...

A new microscope is giving researchers an unprecedented view of how mammals are built, cell by cell. Light sheet microscopes use ultrathin laser beams to illuminate sections of a specimen while ...

A Purdue University team developed the microscope based on concepts of phase-contrast microscopy, which involves using optical devices to view molecules, membranes or other nanoscale items that may be ...
