Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record-breaking modern iteration finally achieved what physicists have waited decades to see—for the first time, a transmission electron ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek made extraordinary observations of blood cells, sperm cells and bacteria with his microscopes. But it turns out the lens technology he used was quite ordinary.

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images ...

It was a dark and stormy view screen. Chaotic. Swirly. Not good. This is what some cells in Samuel Taylor's lower throat looked like through one of the world's smallest microscopes as it snaked down ...

Eight-year-old S. Hariraj is a Foldscope devotee. He's used it to look at the milk from the cows his parents raise. Though the milk looks creamy, the Foldscope reveals a world of microorganisms. "It ...

The subatomic world is hard to image not just because it’s incredibly tiny, but super fast too. Now physicists at the University of Arizona have developed the world’s fastest electron microscope to ...

With just a glass bead and plastic clip, a smartphone can become a microscope. That transformation enables hands-on learning experiences, which are especially vital during a time when many students ...

Microscopes quite literally gave us a whole new way of looking at the world, and now you can bring that power anywhere with this portable one. It only weighs half a pound, and it's far easier to use ...
