A new microscope created by researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has the ability to take fast 3D images, making it easier to observe cells in living animals over time. For example, Jorge Ripoll, one of the researchers on the project and co...
Scientists have developed a microscope that allows them to track sperm movements in 3D, which could benefit the understanding of both fertility treatment and micro-robotics. The device is made up of inexpensive components including LEDs and an image...
You'd probably prefer that doctors restore lost sight or hearing by directly repairing your eyes and ears, but Rice University is one step closer to the next best thing: transmitting info directly to your brain. It's developing a flat microscope (th...
A new type of microscope could drastically reduce the number of women having multiple breast cancer surgeries, researchers at the University of Washington claim.
Until now, there's been no reliable way to determine whether surgeons have completely r...
In the past, a microscope might have been an awesome and exciting gift for kids… but now, search engines have replaced hands-on exploration. Designed with this in mind, Skop rethinks the architecture of the modern microscope with digital and optically advanced twists.
Use it at home or take it on-the-go just about anywhere to capture incredible, up-close moments in picture or video and explore the microscopic world around you like never before! Outside, an LED ring light provides a controllable illumination source and works like an incident light microscope. Inside, at a station on your desk, you can explore in transmitted light mode to detect unknown structures and organisms with an enormous data base and augmented reality technology. A built-in APS-C Sensor allows you to capture incredible pictures and share what you have discovered. Connected to a smartphone, your display is transformed into a large viewfinder where you can control the device.
There is a whole universe that we can only see through a microscope. But high powered microscopes are cumbersome and often quite expensive. The Foldscope can help you check out the microscopic world and goes anywhere.
You punch out the microscope from a sheet of paper, and it has a lens that delivers 140X magnification, which is enough for “imaging live individual cells, cellular organelles, embryos, swimming bacteria and much more.”
The Foldscope is not new. It has been around for about 5 years, but started out as a project for teaching in developing countries. While the Foldscope itself costs a little more than dollar, it’s being sold to individuals as a scientific kit including slides, Petri dishes, strainers, pipettes, tweezers, an LED light source and more. Schools and teachers can pick up sets that include 20 or more individual Foldscopes if they want to pass them out to their classes.
You can get the individual set for a pledge of $20 over on Kickstarter, while teachers can get sets of 20 Foldscopes (just the sheets, lenses, and carrying pouches) for $30. This is great for anyone who has an interest in science.
The best electron microscope can now allow colored pics to emerge of the small objects that are placed beneath its lens. Such microscopes can enlarge objects by upto ten million times their original...
UCLA and Verily, Google Alphabet's life sciences division, has developed a wearable microscope that could help doctors in the near future. The device is designed to track fluorescent biomarkers inside the skin, a vital tool used to detect certain can...
To date, biologists have typically had to study the progress of a virus through indirect means, such as studying the antibodies -- actually tracking the viruses themselves has been difficult. However, researchers say they've found a way to follow th...
When a nanometer of tissue can mean the difference between a long healthy life and the harsh reality of cancer, doctors and patients deserve every advantage. Removing cancerous tissue can be the...
