"This instrument would have been quite an exclusive object and a really precious piece," say auctioneers.

Professor Timo Betz is a biophysicist at the University of Göttingen in Germany. His name is found on widely cited research papers with serious-sounding titles like Neurite branch retraction is caused ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image ...

Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next ...

Neutrons have a set of unique properties that make them better suited than light, electrons, or x-rays for looking at the physics and chemistry going on inside an object. Scientists working out of MIT ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

We’re willing to bet it’s been a minute since you prepared slides in a science lab. If your kid’s back-to-school list includes a microscope, you probably need a refresher before beginning your search.

This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To resolve this issue, ...
