Amid the fish tanks and black lab tables in Melanie Fields’ biology classroom, a video camera perched on the eyepiece of a microscope strikes a note of modernity. A cable transmits the camera’s view ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that ...

For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes, thanks to a new open-source design. For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision ...

Confronted with the explosive popularity of online learning, researchers are seeking new ways to teach the practical skills of science. The academic world is in upheaval over MOOCs: massive open ...

New research shows that a portable, battery-operated fluorescence microscope, which costs $240, stacks up nicely against devices that retail for as much as $40,000 in diagnosing signs of tuberculosis.

UCLA researchers determined sperm carrying a Y chromosome swim differently than sperm carrying an X chromosome. In a study published October, Aydogan Ozcan, professor of electrical and computer ...

Researchers typically keep two microscopes in the lab — a traditional upright device for viewing dry slides and an inverted microscope to examine live samples. San Diego start-up Echo has created a ...

Validating samples is a time consuming and expensive process when trying to track down defects and reasons for semiconductor failures. Optical microscopes were used to examine samples after each ...
