WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering are developing patented and patent-pending innovations that make 3D microscopes faster to operate and less expensive to ...

Australian researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) have developed a 3D-printable "clip-on" that turns a smartphone into a fully functional microscope. Reported ...

The demand for disposable miniature imaging platforms (DMIPs) is growing rapidly. Used for commercial, scientific, medical, and educational purposes, DMIPs have numerous applications but can be ...

It is a twist on cell phone use that excites assistant professor Wei-Chuan Shih and doctoral candidate Yulung Sung. They call it DotLens, a discovery made by mistake. Last year, Sung dropped polymer ...

Zooming in: image of mouse embryo. (Courtesy: Gail McConnell/University of Strathclyde) A new microscope lens that offers the unique combination of a large field of view with high resolution has been ...

(Nanowerk News) X-ray microscopes are fascinating imaging tools. They uniquely combine nanometer-size resolution with a large penetration depth: X-ray microscopy or XRM is the only technique where one ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that stitches together video from 54 individual cameras and lenses. Whether recording high-speed, 3D, gigapixel movies of the behavior of dozens of ...

A new method to make a low-cost, high-quality lens quickly using a 3D printer has promising potential to create optical imaging lenses, customized contact lenses for correcting distorted vision, or to ...

Liming Chen, who will earn his PhD in mechanical engineering from Purdue in May 2024, operates a 3D microscope, which uses an optical technique called fringe projection to create a high-resolution 3D ...
