Engineers from Ohio State University have developed what they say is the world's first microscope lens capable of obtaining three-dimensional images. While 3D microscopy has already been achieved, it ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Researchers have proposed a new method to form an electron lens that will help reduce installation costs for electron microscopes with atomic resolution, proliferating their use. Instead of the ...

Researchers at Caltech have developed a miniature microscope system that enables imaging without the use of lenses or optics and may be relatively inexpensive to mass-produce. The future of microscopy ...

Engineers are developing their FlatScope as a fluorescent microscope able to capture three-dimensional data and produce images from anywhere within the field. Lenses are no longer necessary for some ...

Instead of lugging a heavy microscope into the field, doctors and nurses in remote regions may have a more portable choice -- a lightweight microscope that replaces lenses with holograms. Researchers ...
