A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

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

The history of the electron microscope dates back to early twentieth century when the first electromagnetic lens was developed. This opened the door of possibility to use the principles of the lens to ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

One aspect of working for Hackaday comes in our regular need to take good quality photographs for publication. I have a semi-decent camera that turns my inept pointing and shooting into passably good ...

The earliest example of a stereo microscope was designed and built-in 1671 by Cherubin d’Orleans, though it was a pseudostereoscopic design, which had major flaws. Only by application of additional ...

The subatomic world is hard to image not just because it’s incredibly tiny, but super fast too. Now physicists at the University of Arizona have developed the world’s fastest electron microscope to ...

We've got a feast for your eyes today, and it's some of the most mesmerizing footage we've seen through a microscope this year. Robert Feranec, a hardware design engineer and educator who runs an ...

Sometimes I need to be able to take photographs of very small things, and the so-called macro mode on my point-and-shoot camera just won’t cut it. And it never hurts to have an inspection scope on ...
