Deep in the mountains of Central Europe, a small, evergreen clubmoss known as Huperzia selago has become the unlikely star of a study that could change how biologists assess fertility in some of the ...

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

[Birdbrain] is trying to make their own microfluidic devices. To aid in this quest, they need a quality microscope to see what they’re doing. Instead of buying one outright, they purchased a cheap ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

Biological microscopes are used to study organisms and their vital processes. Microscopes used in this field range widely, from relatively simple optical microscopes to very advanced imaging systems ...
