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 ...

A British nanotech invention has revolutionized the humble optical microscope by quadrupling its magnification power to a level far beyond what could previously be achieved with visible light. The new ...

If you love building things — especially if you’re assembling something with a lot of small, delicate parts (i.e., a computer or a drone) — you might want to get a closer look at whatever it is you’re ...

If you would like to explore a world that cannot be seen with the naked eye, you may be interested in the new camera phone microscope small enough to balance on your fingertip and created by the team ...

With nanotechnology developed in the UK it may be possible to completely revolutionise the optical microscope by quadrupling its magnification capabilities. Unlike electron microscopes or X-ray ...

Researchers in Australia have invented a new kind of optical lens that could be combined with a smartphone camera to create a microscope for diagnosing skin cancer or identifying agricultural pests.
