Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal settings needed to complete a given diagnostic task. The ...

One of the highlights of science classes in school had to when we got to toy around with microscopes. Of course, while most microscopes in school were fairly basic models, the kits used in ...

A pair of strong binoculars brings far-away objects much closer, letting you examine them from a safe distance. But there is an entirely different world when you look closely at the smallest creatures ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of the most detailed views of life ever recorded. Day and night, they collect ...

(a) MLAO was embedded in the microscope control to improve imaging quality by modulate the illumination light. Right-hand side showed an example of one operation cycle using MLAO. After using MLAO ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

Confocal microscopy of fluorescently labelled specimen has become an increasingly used and important tool in biological research across disciplines. Proper results rely on accurately set and aligned ...

The resolution and contrast of microscope imaging is often affected by aberrations introduced by imperfect optical systems and inhomogeneous refractive structures in specimens. Adaptive optics (AO) ...

Engineers have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal settings needed to complete a given diagnostic task. In the initial ...
