For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each ...

Accurate measurement results depend on regular microscope calibration to ensure consistency and reliability across scientific and industrial use.

Just how small can a QR code be? Small enough that it can only be recognized with an electron microscope. A research team at TU Wien, working together with the data storage technology company Cerabyte ...

St. Louis, Mo. (June 9, 2014) – With a new molecular imaging system powerful enough to peer down to 20-micrometer resolution, researchers can now use radioluminescence to examine the characteristics ...

San Francisco, CA, and Leuven, Belgium. At next week’s SPIE Photonics West 2016, imec will demonstrate a lens-free microscope for large field-of-view live imaging at micrometer resolution. imec’s ...

THE usual method of measuring the dimensions of microscopic objects is to compare them against an eye-piece scale or to use a calibrated filar micrometer eye-piece. Such methods are not capable of ...

Usually, catalytic reactions are analyzed by checking which chemicals go into a chemical reactor and which come out. But as it turns out, in order to properly understand and optimize catalysts, much ...

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...

Researchers have developed a method to improve the resolution of a conventional wide-field optical microscope. Scattered light usually reduces the resolution of conventional optical microscopes. The ...

Ion beam microscopes, or focused ion beam microscopes (FIB), use a beam of ions to image a sample with a sub-micrometer level of detail. The focused ion beam can directly change or "mill" the sample ...
