Laser scanning microscopes are useful for all kinds of tiny investigations. As it turns out, you can build one using parts salvaged from a Blu-ray player, as demonstrated by [Doctor Volt]. The tric… ...

Engineers from University of California are currently working on a "light-shrinking" technology that can boost up the resolving power of any regular microscope.

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments.

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

Parts of a microscope and how a light microscope works Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a ...

With the microscope, iFixit is able to provide a closer look at the iPhone 's casing, adhesive, and display, showing off individual pixels. There are zoomed-in views of everything from the battery ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original ...

Since the optical pickup contains optical parts such as a semiconductor laser, an objective lens, and a light receiving element, Gaudenz challenged to make a confocal laser microscope from the ...

3rd level Observerving cells under a microscope Magnification To examine cells and learn more about their structure, we need to be able to see them in very fine detail. Part of Science Cells ...

Designed by German YouTuber Doctor Volt, a recent DIY project uses parts of a defective Samsung BD-J5900 Blu-ray player to put a laser-scanning microscope together. Compared to ...

This protocol outlines a procedure for collecting and analyzing point spread functions (PSFs). It describes how to prepare fluorescent microsphere samples, set up a confocal microscope to properly ...
