Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

Effective stereo microscope selection depends on understanding application demands and the performance factors that affect 3D ...

The 3D micro-device consists of a modified coverslip and a micro-sphere fabricated by advanced MPL. It can enhance the lateral resolution beyond what is achievable with conventional optics. Today, ...

The M25 microscope, which can operate in fluorescence and transmitted light modes, can be used to watch the swimming of entire C. elegans worms, a model organism used to study development, ...

Researchers have developed a high-speed 3D imaging microscope that can capture detailed cell dynamics of an entire small whole organism at once. The ability to image 3D changes in real time over a ...

For hundreds of years, the optical microscope was the only tool available to scientists wanting to study the movement of cells, bacteria and yeast. But the diffraction of light made it impossible to ...

Accurately characterizing high aspect ratio geometries—such as narrow gaps, deep trenches, and deep holes—is becoming increasingly important across a wide range of technologies and industries. To meet ...
