A new X-ray microscope at Brookhaven National Laboratory is being used to create unparalleled high-resolution 3D images of the inner structure of materials. Using techniques similar to taking a very ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Researchers have designed and built the world’s first microscope ...

"In a normal 3D image, you can see that the forest has a depth, that some leaves and trees are closer than others. With the same technology used in our new 3D microscope, you are also able to see the ...

Researchers developed a new smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that enables precision 3D measurements. The highly portable and inexpensive microscope could help bring 3D measurement ...

Australian researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) have developed a 3D-printable "clip-on" that turns a smartphone into a fully functional microscope. Reported ...

Desktop microscopes can be extremely expensive, especially when you go for larger magnifications. One interesting 3D printing mod has used the frame and a 3D printed fitting to create a desktop Ender ...

Microscopes afford us the opportunity to look at particles that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye, but these particles can sometimes be masked by gravity. That’s right, the same force that ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish feats that neither could have done on its own. The microscope combines ...

Innovation brings 3D-nanometer precision to bio-imaging instrument. − Nature is three-dimensional, so it has to be studied and viewed in 3D, says Professor Edward Hæggström from the Electronics ...

Researchers developed a smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that can capture, reconstruct and display holograms in almost real time. They used the microscope to acquire cross-sectional ...
