Researchers have used 3D printing to make an inexpensive and portable high-resolution microscope that is small and robust enough to use in the field or at the bedside. The high-resolution 3D images ...

Researchers developed a new smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that enables precision 3D measurements. The highly portable and inexpensive microscope could help bring 3D measurement ...

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 ...

You can download the recipe for the OpenFlexure microscope from GitHub, feed it into a 3D printer and, combined with a little camera and computer, you have a way to ...

Using parts from Blu-ray players combined with a few 3D printed components Instructables member “ Noselace” has created a fantastic miniature microscope and 3D scanner which can be seen in action in ...

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 ...

The M25 microscope, which can operate in fluorescence and transmitted light modes, can be used to watch the swimming of entire C. elegans worms, a model organism used to study development, ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

Biomedical research involves getting a close look at what’s happening inside of cells. Usually, that happens after cells are grown on a glass slide and then fixed in place. They can then be treated so ...

Over the past few years, citizen scientists have helped illuminate our universe. From mapping refugee camps to cataloging nearby stars, these amateurs often work after hours and without pay, making ...

An AI algorithm converts 2D electron microscope images into accurate 3D structures, cutting analysis time and cost to one-eighth while preserving precision. The newly developed algorithm requires ...

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 ...
