An infrared microscope designed by a University of Iowa team led by Thomas Folland helped produce information that could help ...

The completed scope can easily inspect human hairs, the dust mites, blood cells, and just about anything down to the limits of optical microscopy. Future plans for this microscope might include ...

We study and develop optical microscopes that help biologists and engineers address ... and quantifying the optical path length distributions of transparent objects. To explore these topics, we ...

XLuminA opens the path for exploring completely new territories in microscopy, achieving unprecedented speed in automated optical design," says Carla Rodríguez, the study's lead author and main ...

But there’s enough for us to get a good idea of how they work. Stereo microscopes use one of two optical designs — the Common Main Objective (CMO) optical system and the Greenough optical system.

Fluorescence microscopy is not always effective for ... without the need to move the sample. The optical path has also been designed to enable dual-<0x000A>color luminescence as well as ...

The entire project plans are open-source and available for free. Credit: Liam Rooney “Optical microscopy has long been a cornerstone of scientific discovery, driving advances across diverse ...

Late 1600s – Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek constructed a microscope with a single spherical lens. It magnified up to ×275. 1800s - the optical quality of lenses increased and the ...
