For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes, thanks to a new open-source design.

The method involves fluorescence microscopy, whereby a molecule of interest is tagged with a dye that gives off light at a specific colour when illuminated with a spot of light. The sample is viewed ...

I am requesting enough cameras that about half of the students could use them on their microscopes. A typical lab holds 24 students and sometimes the students will share a microscope with their ...

Administrators and scientists hailed the unveiling of a facility yesterday that will boast 12 state-of-the-art microscopes shared by researchers across the University.

Researchers have developed a way to use lasers to study the splicing of pre-messenger RNA molecules, an essential process in creating proteins to sustain advanced organisms, including human life ...

Olympus has unveiled the CX23® microscope, designed to provide high-quality optical performance and stress-free, dependable operation in laboratory, classroom and training facilities worldwide.

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, US, have built a new type microscope that provides a “chemical lens” for viewing biological systems including cell membranes and biofilms.

Although the first optical microscopes were developed more than 400 years ago, says the unit's Peter Hines, true microscope science dates from 1665.
