Maybe it expressed a sergeant’s snark toward the officer corps. Or a budding scientist’s thrill at a big find. Either way, the hand-lettered label that future Bates professor William H. Sawyer Jr.

A NEW method of providing dyes for some of the commoner staining procedures has been developed and tested. A small volume of the required dye solution is prepared according to the appropriate formula.

Then, slides were prepared by placing a drop of blood on a glass slide and stained with dye to make the bacterial cell structures more visible. Next, they trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) ...

Bacteria have an unfortunate — and inaccurate — public image as isolated cells twiddling about on microscope slides. The more that scientists learn about bacteria, however, the more they see that this ...

A new way of rapidly identifying bacteria, which requires a slight modification to a simple microscope, may change the way doctors approach treatment for patients who develop potentially deadly ...

In the mid- to late-19th century, science gripped the public imagination. Literacy rates were rising, feeding demand for books. Theories, put forward in books like Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, ...

Kirby’s team used an automated microscope designed to collect high-resolution image data from microscopic slides. In this case, blood samples taken from patients with suspected bloodstream infections ...
