Device described in Biomedical Optics Express could be used for field diagnostics in developing countries, testing of water quality, food contamination. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—To serve remote areas of ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Scientists have developed the first flat lens for immersion microscopy. This lens, which can be designed for any liquid, may provide a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture alternative to the ...

Engineers are developing their FlatScope as a fluorescent microscope able to capture three-dimensional data and produce images from anywhere within the field. Lenses are no longer necessary for some ...
