To determine the birefringent properties of a material with a classical microscopy setup, scientists typically switch through different input states, illuminating an object separately with ...

This phenomenon is thought to result from the interference between x- and y-polarized light excitation modes with different phases. Through photoemission electron microscopy, scientists observed ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible.

Regardless of their microscopy approach ... instead only seeing hard-to-interpret shadows. By shining polarized light onto a sample and snapping multiple 3D images of the sample as the plane ...

From spines on neurons to pollen on an insect’s eye, the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo contest offer a kaleidoscopic glimpse into a tiny world.

In Nijmegen, Netherlands, researchers have installed the world's first microscope capable of live imaging of biological ...

The drinks were crystallized on a slide and photographed under a polarized light microscope. The light refracts through the drink's crystals and the results speak for themselves.

Researchers at Cornell have unveiled an advanced imaging technology capable of unprecedented deep and wide-field ...

Laboratories use various methods, including polarized light microscopy, to identify asbestos fibers. The results will specify the type and concentration of asbestos present in the samples, providing ...

Scientists can now use super-resolution microscopy to directly observe living subcellular structures and activities. In this piece, we explore the basics of three popular super-resolution techniques.

Take a means of investigation with you with these tiny, travelable microscopes that let you explore the big small world.

The MT6000 Series microscopes are configured for brightfield and epi-flourescence but can also be outfitted with optional phase contrast, polarized light and darkfield components. System ...
