Optical microscopes are indispensable research tools in fields such as life sciences, medical science, and materials science. The objective lens is the core component of the microscope, determining ...

Smaller and more versatile laser confocal microscopy platforms would potentially be of great value for in vivo imaging of live biological specimens, in scenarios where the size of conventional ...

To demonstrate confocal imaging, the scientists used a bench-top mockup of the objective lens with an integrated 3-D MEMS mirror. Liu et al. attached the mirror onto the sample stage using a ...

You can find objective lenses at low prices by searching online shops. For example, Mr. Niemchuk seems to have gotten the following objective lens from AliExpress. A mount adapter is required to ...

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 ...

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

Avantier's case study examines the high NA infinity conjugate long working distance microscope objective, designed for optical tweezers and other precision applications. With a 16 mm focal length, 14 ...

Laowa Aksen Ultra Macro Series launches today — the first camera-mount lens system to zoom continuously from 1x to 10x ...

Classic design: the Schmidt objective produces detailed images of neurons in a mouse brain. (Courtesy: Anna Maria Reuss (USZ) & Fabian Voigt (UZH)) Researchers in Switzerland have built what they ...

Placing colloidal spheres in the immediate proximity of fluorescent molecules makes it possible to achieve single-molecule imaging at high temperatures with a low-cost system. In an optical microscope ...
