(1632-1723) and Englishman Robert Hooke (1635-1703). Both played instrumental roles in the identification of microorganisms using glass lenses and essentially launched the fields of optical microscopy ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

The ability to see greater detail in an image depends on the resolution or resolving power. This is the ability to see two points as two points, rather than merged into one. Think about a digital ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...

We can see objects as small as 0.1 millimeters, and that means we can just about see these lice eggs in our hair and tiny single-celled organisms like amoeba. But it's possible to see things much ...

A collection of images taken with scanning electron microscopes (SEM) has been pieced together by London-based science author, Brandon Broll, into a book titled Microcosmos. The images cover anything ...

Using a Scanning Electron Microscope, retired scientific photographer Steve Gschmeissner, 61, from Bedford, is able to magnify insects by up to a million times. The results show incredibly detailed ...
