There are several different types of scanning probe microscopes, the most prominent of which are atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). There are also many other types, ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A new type of microscope may give doctors a better idea of how safely and effectively a medication will perform in the body. A Purdue University team developed the microscope ...

Its not every day that scientists invent a whole new type of microscope, but thats exactly what researchers in Germany have achieved with a new project. A collaboration between Helmholtz Zentrum ...

Researchers used a powerful, custom-built X-ray microscope to directly observe the magnetic version of a soliton, a type of wave that can travel without resistance. Scientists are exploring whether ...

When Eugene Cho sold microscopes for Nikon Instruments for a dozen years, he would always ask potential customers whether they needed an upright or an inverted microscope. The uprights have the lenses ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...
