Two new microscopy techniques may enable better resolution from existing hardware and greater imaging depths if a different light source is used. We take a look at each of these in turn. Self ...

Here is an economical way to experiment with light, color, and optics. You get one Red LED light source, one Green LED light source, and one Blue LED light source. The three LEDs can be controlled ...

Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

The EXFO X-Cite 120 fluorescent source has a light spectrum similar to that of conventional mercury lamps, but lasts much longer, providing a 1500-hr bulb life. Olympus Life and Material Science ...

Early microscopes used an illumination system comprising sunlight that was collected and reflected onto the sample by a mirror. Today, most microscopes use artificial light sources such as light bulbs ...

The new microscope uses two laser light sources, one of which is rerouted through a potassium titanyl phosphate crystal. Essentially, ...

The microscope is a specialized device known as a fluorescence microscope, which uses a light source to excite fluorescent molecules in a sample which can illuminate structures that would ...

Source: University of California - Santa Barbara Summary: ... The light in a two-photon microscope behaves differently, creating a single point of light (and no cones of light) ...

[A. Cemal Ekin] over on PetaPixel reviewed the Apexel 200X LED Microscope Lens. The relatively inexpensive accessory promises to transform your cell phone camera into a microscope. Of course, lense… ...
