Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

A new imaging technology uses polarized 'optical vortices' to provide a detailed, dynamic view of molecules in motion. Understanding the nitty gritty of how molecules interact with each other in the ...

In the field of materials characterization, optical microscopy is one of the most commonly used imaging techniques. It is estimated that the diffraction limit of optical light is half of the ...

Computational fluorescence microscopy (CFM) requires accurate point spread function (PSF) characterization for high-quality ...

Biology students at Dakota Wesleyan University have new technology to use when in the lab. Dr. Tim Mullican, professor of biology, says two recently purchased Richter microscopes with cameras will ...
