Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) devices are extremely promising in that they enable diagnostic functions at the point-of-care. Within this scope, an important goal is to design imaging schemes that can be used ...

With a silicone rubber "stick-on" sheet containing dozens of miniature, powerful lenses, engineers are one step closer to putting the capacity of a large laboratory into a micro-sized package. The ...

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. The ...

Validating samples is a time consuming and expensive process when trying to track down defects and reasons for semiconductor failures. Optical microscopes were used to examine samples after each ...

Dr. Steven Finkbeiner's microscope is one of a kind. It occupies a small room -- the size of a large closet -- down a hallway humming with refrigerators, freezers and centrifuges at the new laboratory ...

Modern microscopes used for biological imaging are expensive, are located in specialized laboratories and require highly qualified staff. To research novel, creative approaches to address urgent ...

Researchers have developed an optical toolbox to build microscopes for a few hundred euros that deliver high-resolution images comparable to commercial microscopes that cost up to a thousand times ...
