He became the first person to observe the inner workings of the body on a microscopic level, seeing bacteria, sperm and even blood cells flowing through capillaries. His microscopes, each smaller ...

In comparison, current light-based microscopes often require imaging ... living tissues," lead researcher David Maresca says. Labelling capillaries and cells with sound-reflecting probes Key ...

These networks were used to identify each capillary in the distal row of vessels ... resolution and 66 imaged using a low-cost digital microscope. In each group, approximately half had confirmed ...

By studying the frictional forces acting on an atomic force microscope (AFM ... for the first time that the formation of these capillaries is thermally activated. Their study suggests that ...

EPFL researchers realized that this phenomenon occurred to ultrathin quartz tubes (capillary tubes) under the beam of a scanning electron microscope. "This is not the original microscope's purpose.

This gas exchange occurs in the alveoli, each surrounded by many capillaries containing the ... developed an ultra-fast laser scanning confocal microscope and an imaging chamber that could ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine have achieved a breakthrough by discovering a new type of ...

To reduce image-degrading effects such a speckle and interference, the team shortened the laser's capillary tube length from 36 to 18 cm to give a low-coherence beam with a pulse energy of around 0.1 ...

A thick, bite-sized piece of chicken fillet has been grown in a lab using tiny tubes to mimic the capillaries found in real muscle. Researchers say this gives the product a chewier texture.

EPFL researchers are using the electrical properties of a scanning electron microscope to change the size of glass capillary tubes -- Their method has already been patented as it could pave the ...
