Researchers have used the centuries-old idea of pinhole imaging to create a high-performance mid-infrared imaging system without lenses. The new camera can capture extremely clear pictures over a ...

When using an electron microscope, having your samples fried or explode isn’t quite the result one wants. But for Professor Paul Dastoor, this was an all-too-common problem. In his work on organic and ...

Pinhole marker or Purkinje images of the microscope can be used to get a centrally located pupil and the pinhole pupil size to 1.5 mm. A pinhole marker (Figure 5) sized 1.5 mm is employed for gauging ...

Researchers have developed a way to retrofit the transmission electron microscope -- a long-standing scientific workhorse for making crisp microscopic images -- so that it can also create high-quality ...

The world's smallest LED developed by researchers in Singapore has paved the way for converting existing mobile phone cameras into high-resolution microscopes. A new type of LED, which is smaller than ...

The Cell Imaging Center houses two types of confocal microscopes: the Olympus FV1000 and the Zeiss LSM700. In confocal microscopy, laser light is focused into a very small spot and is scanned across ...
