Figure 1: Partially coherent lens-free on-chip microscope. In addition to temporal-coherence requirements, spatial coherence of the illumination is also critical in lens-free holographic microscopy ...

Engineers from Ohio State University have developed what they say is the world's first microscope lens capable of obtaining three-dimensional images. While 3D microscopy has already been achieved, it ...

Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems ...

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 ...

Microscope lenses are typically made either by grinding and polishing glass discs, or pouring polymers into molds – both techniques can be quite involved, which is reflected in the price of the ...

Scientists at UCLA have created a lens-free microscope that relies on a silicon chip found in smartphones and digital cameras. You can’t use it to snap a selfie, but it could help scientists detect ...

UCLA researchers have developed a lens-free microscope that can be used to detect the presence of cancer or other cell-level abnormalities with the same accuracy as larger and more expensive optical ...

Those of you who have suffered through my writing before will know that I have a thing for imaging. A paper that offered experimental results on a new super-resolution technique was like offering me ...

A microscope objective lens produces a real, magnified image of an object placed within the field of view. Before it is observed the image is then magnified again by the ocular lens, also known as the ...

Yesterday, we talked about a new iPhone accessory lens that gives you an artsy look to your photos. Here’s another add-on lens, but, instead of creative effects, it’s more scientific. With the new ...
