If you want to take pictures of tiny things close up, you need a macro lens. Or a microscope. [Nicholas Sherlock] thought “Why not both?” He designed a 3D-printed microscope lens adapter that you can ...

Engineers from Ohio State University have developed what they say is the world's first microscope lens capable of obtaining three-dimensional images. While 3D microscopy has already been achieved, it ...

Technology is indisputably booming these days, especially in the field of optics. First there was the magnification lens called Micro Phone Lens that instantly transforms any smart phone or tablet ...

A team at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has come up with a promising new way to create 3D images from a stationary camera or microscope with a single lens. Rather than ...

Ohio State engineers have made a single microscope lens that is capable of capturing enough angles to form a 3D picture of a object. Soon there could be an all-paramecium version of Avatar. For a long ...

Australian researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) have developed a 3D-printable "clip-on" that turns a smartphone into a fully functional microscope. Reported ...

Contact lenses represent one of the single largest categories of medical devices, with more than 31 million contact lens wearers in the United States alone, according to the Association of Contact ...

(Nanowerk News) X-ray microscopes are fascinating imaging tools. They uniquely combine nanometer-size resolution with a large penetration depth: X-ray microscopy or XRM is the only technique where one ...

Prior Scientific reports on how its precision stages and focusing systems have been adopted by Mesolens Ltd. (www.mesolens.com) as part of their ground breaking microscope system that delivers faster, ...

Since the invention of the optical microscope in the 17th century, a remarkable evolution can be observed in the microscope’s performance and diversity. On the other hand, if we focus on its structure ...
