In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...

A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells -- while working in a natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and will give researchers ...

Scientists at Duke University have developed an incredibly powerful new camera that combines dozens of lenses to capture images and video at resolutions of thousands of megapixels, in three dimensions ...

For over a century, surgeons performing delicate procedures have relied on stereoscopic microscopes to gain a sense of depth. These tools mimic human vision by presenting slightly different images to ...

The new microscope is a so-called multifocus microscope, which provides completely clear images, sorted into different layers, where you can study the cells from all angles. Credit: UiT To observe ...

DURHAM, N.C. – When a couple of plucky graduate students took the first picture with their pieced-together microscope, it turned out better than they’d hoped. Sure, there was a hole in one section and ...

A new microscope just arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) to help study life's adaptability under extreme conditions using an innovative imaging technique. The Extant Life Volumetric ...

Researchers have developed a high-speed 3D imaging microscope that can capture detailed cell dynamics of an entire small whole organism at once. The ability to image 3D changes in real time over a ...

A hybrid microscope developed at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) allows scientists to capture both the 3D orientation and position of molecular ensembles, such as labeled proteins inside cells.

Engineers, lab scientists, and medical workers who must view magnified 3D images produced with two different cameras for long periods of time typically suffer from eye fatigue and other discomfort. A ...

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 ...
