State-of-the-art atomic force microscopes (AFMs) are designed to capture images of structures as small as a fraction of a nanometer—a million times smaller than the width of a human hair. In recent ...
When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But ...
The first microscopes, in the 1500s and 1600s, transformed glass panes that looked completely transparent into a universe teeming with bacteria, cells, pollen and intricate crystals. These visionary ...
Now a group of MIT engineers has created a new microscope that can generate close to real-time images of processes at nearly the atomic level. For human observers, microscopic worlds that had appeared ...
Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...
It's tough to capture the world's tiniest organisms in photos, but it's even tougher to capture footage of them in action. After awarding the best microscope photography of 2019, Nikon has revealed ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Nikon is out with the winners of its annual Small World in Motion Competition, a contest that awards the best microscope videos from photographers around the world.
Smartphones can take your pulse, monitor your mental health, keep track of your diet, analyze your sleep cycle and help control your diabetes. Now, a new smartphone technology can spot parasites in ...
Engineers have designed an atomic force microscope that scans images 2,000 times faster than existing commercial models. With this new high-speed instrument, the team produced images of chemical ...
