Australian scientists have developed the world's smallest hand-held microscope, which is capable of detecting cancer cells often missed by surgeons during operations to remove breast cancer tumours.

How does the needle trace the groove of the analog record? Although there are many people who have thought about it at once, it takes extraordinary labor to observe the situation. YouTubeApplied ...

A method for turning a small, $40 needle into a 3-D microscope capable of taking images up to 70 times smaller than the width of a human hair has been developed by scientists. the microscope technique ...

According to the researchers, visualizing this at the molecular level helps further our understanding of host-pathogen interactions and contributes to the development of novel therapies for the ...

The quality of the images produced so far has drawn interest from surgeons looking at brain and lung disease. The quality of the images produced so far has drawn interest from surgeons looking at ...

Western Australian researchers fighting breast cancer have won the final of an international technology competition sponsored by SPIE, the owner of optics.org. Associate Professor Robert McLaughlin, ...

Medical needles have many uses. Since the needles are directly inserted into a person’s body, it is critical that manufacturers adhere to national and international standards for shape, materials, and ...

Martin Jones describes how new approaches to electron microscopy are helping biomedical scientists get the most out of ever-increasing flows of data Thinly sliced This focused ion beam scanning ...

Researchers have developed a new method for rapid 3D imaging. Instead of having to scan repeatedly in 2D, the researchers proposed a one-scan technique that uses a light needle to process at depth and ...
