(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their collaborators have developed a way to retrofit the transmission electron microscope -- a ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Discover how to transform a basic webcam into a powerful DIY microscope using simple materials. In this step-by-step tutorial, you'll learn how to build a functional microscope stand from cardboard, ...

Would it be possible to make a simple microscope on the island? Despite the fact that there were no clean, unscratched lenses on the island, there is a very simple microscope you can make using a tiny ...

Small modifications to an ordinary optical microscope have helped turn it into a powerful instrument that can be used for studying complex cellular biology in real time at the nanoscale level. And ...

MR. BECK has in this little book collected and set out in elementary form a considerable amount of information useful to the microscopist. The optics of the instrument are described in a simple manner ...

Which digital microscopes are best? Whether an academic researcher or a casual hobbyist, the microscope is an essential part of nearly every scientist’s toolkit. While all microscopes let you examine ...

Researchers have developed a way to retrofit the transmission electron microscope -- a long-standing scientific workhorse for making crisp microscopic images -- so that it can also create high-quality ...
