A few months ago, we took a look at the CellScope, a tool that turns camera-enabled cell phones and netbooks into handheld microscopes that can diagnose diseases like malaria and tuberculosis. When we ...

A new type of scanning transmission electron microscope is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms and see how those atoms bond to one another.

ITHACA, N.Y., Feb. 25 (UPI) -- A new electron microscope at Cornell University is enabling scientists for the first time to form color-coded images of individual atoms. "The current generation of ...

A joint team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany and the University of Melbourne in Australia has developed a new method for the straightforward analysis of tiny nanoplastic particles in ...

Electron microscopes (EM) are useful for creating a topographical map of cellular structures and molecules, but since the images are obtained with particle beams of accelerated electrons, the results ...

The technique is sort of a combination of light microscopy, which bounces light off of objects, and electron microscopy, which bounces electrons off of objects. UC, San Diego Bringing color to ...

Many baby boomers still remember the excitement of watching color television for the first time. The colors were not exactly life-like, but the sky was blue, the grass was green, and you could tell ...
