physorg – Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have turned science fiction into reality with their development of a super-compact high-resolution microscope, small enough to fit on a ...

Researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope that opens up a wide range of potential applications, including turning your smartphone camera into a portable, ...

The device would probably cost about $100, said designer Changhuei Yang, a Caltech bioengineer, less than a standard microscope. The key to the device is a thin layer of metal with a few hundred tiny ...

OPTICAL microscopes used to be bulky instruments. Their basic components – lenses to magnify and focus an image – take up a lot of space, and are fragile and expensive to boot. Not any more.

University researchers have developed a high-resolution microscope that is small enough to sit on a computer chip. The tiny microscope has the magnifying power of a top-quality optical microscope and ...

As UCLA researchers test a low-cost, lens-free microscope, a team of scientists at nearby California Institute of Technology have developed a similar device from a $1.50 digital camera sensor that can ...
