Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

Researchers have created an optical lens that can be placed on an inexpensive smartphone to magnify images by a magnitude of 120, all for just 3 cents a lens. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

LASER COMPONENTS supply microscope objective lenses compatible with all major brands. The objective lens is the closest optic to the observed specimen and consist of a series of lenses in a compact ...

Researchers have redesigned the concept of a microscope, by removing the lens, to create a system small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, but powerful enough to create 3-D tomographic, or sectional ...

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 ...

Every day, like in a blink of an eye, something great gets created. Thanks to the wonders of technology and to the brains that never stop innovating. Previously, we simply use mobile phones for ...

The optical microscope relies on light and consists of two main lenses: • The objective lens, which magnifies the object you wish to observe (with various magnification options). • The eyepiece, which ...

Smaller and more versatile laser confocal microscopy platforms would potentially be of great value for in vivo imaging of live biological specimens, in scenarios where the size of conventional ...
