Algorithms let developers shrink microscopes, enabling innovation by building on existing technology, discovers Andy Extance
Photon Lines now offers a new microscopic biomechanical force sensor system called SENSOCELL from Impetux, of Barcelona, Spain
A new simple chip powered by quantum dots allows standard microscopes to visualise difficult-to-image biological organisms.
MIT researchers have developed a multi-layered chip that could dramatically reduce the cost of dark-field microscopes
An introduction to the theory of polarised Raman spectroscopy and exploring the wealth of sample information that can be obtained using this technique.
Multi-line lasers are an attractive alternative to laser combiners to simplify fluorescence-based imaging instrumentation. Furthermore, they help commercialise new, cutting-edge imaging systems for clinical use. This white paper explores the advantages of a permanently aligned multi-line laser, giving examples of how such a laser is used in microscopes developed at Julius-Maximilian-University of Würzburg and the University of Washington.
A new low-cost three-photon microscope, capable of obtaining tissue data at greater tissue depths than currently available is in development
Reporting from the EMVA conference in Copenhagen, Greg Blackman sees how gigapixel resolution can be created with low-cost optics
Researchers have used 3D printing to produce a high-resolution microscope small and robust enough to use in the field or at the bedside
David Giltner, founder of TurningScience, discusses whether these two seemingly different career paths can successfully overlap
Matthew Dale reports on the association’s yearly event, where the importance of diversity, photonics funding and investment were to the fore
Géraldine Andrieux, at Blumorpho, shares her top tips on getting investors’ attention as a startup
