A microscope built in the UK is the first in the world to produce 3-D internal pictures of objects. This microscope combines two techniques, X-ray microtomography -- which produces 3-D images from a ...

Australian researchers have demonstrated a quantum microscope that can break through a fundamental barrier faced by regular microscopes and see tiny structures that are normally invisible. The device ...

There's a limit to what you can learn about cells from 2D pictures, but creating 3D images is a time-intensive process. Now, scientists from UT Southwestern have developed a new "simple and ...

Modern microscopes are essentially very specialized camera systems with a powerful zoom, so it’s not surprising that some of the images scientists take while they work are stunning artworks in their ...

Researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm for removing systematic effects from atomic force microscopy images, enabling more precise profiles of material surfaces. Atomic force microscopy, ...

Researchers have developed a new method for rapid 3D imaging. Instead of having to scan repeatedly in 2D, the researchers proposed a one-scan technique that uses a light needle to process at depth and ...

Researchers from Skoltech Engineering Center's Hierarchically Structured Materials Laboratory have developed a new method to ...

AFM is commonly used to characterize nanoparticles, which include valuable data related to their qualitative and quantitative properties. For instance, it provides information about the physical ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.
