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 ...

This valuable study builds on previous work by the authors by presenting a potentially key method for correcting optical aberrations in GRIN lens-based microendoscopes used for imaging deep brain ...

for Autonomous battery slurry optimization system #141 it would be nice to measure particle-size distributions, to correlate them to vicosities of mixed slurries, but also to performance of assembled ...

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

Versatile, portable, inexpensive and packed with features, the Swift SW200DL Compound Monocular Microscope is an excellent choice for beginners, students or enthusiasts looking for a little fun. Why ...

This is a valuable study and a promising development for the field of open-source microscopy for educational purposes. The strengths include the low cost of constructing the microscope, impressive ...
