A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

I built a 3D printed, scanning laser confocal microscope so I could collect 3D surface topology and profilometry data! The microscope stage is based on an OpenFlexure "Delta" stage, and the confocal ...

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

Continuing our monthly interview series "Building a Free Internet of the Future", we spoke with the team behind the OpenFlexure open hardware microscope project, and in particular with Julian Stirling ...

A global leader in agricultural genetics sought durable, economical UV microscope objectives. Issues in meeting these objectives included optical design complexity, wavefront control, and fabrication ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The diver-operated ...

How to take still and video images of your favorite specimens: from attaching a camera to choosing a digital camera that photographs directly. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

RepRap was the origin of pushing hobby 3D printing boundaries, and here we see a RepRap scaled down to the smallest detail. [Vik Olliver] over at the RepRap blog has been working on getting a printer ...

For centuries, the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" has dominated discussions of aesthetics. This adage suggests that beauty is entirely subjective—what one person finds attractive, ...

Part of the joy of watching Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked” is getting to witness Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she comes to realize her true purpose: doing everything in her (magical) power to free the animals of ...

Scientists at the University of Strathclyde have created the world's first fully 3D printed microscope in under three hours and for less than £50—a fraction of the cost of traditional devices. Using a ...
