The high-resolution microscope functions without the large and expensive lenses usually associated with such imaging devices. Instead, it combines the chip technology found in digital cameras with ...

Yet it can do exactly what a microscope does: bring a much closer eye to the tiny intricacies of the world. Over the next two years, the colleagues built 50,000 Foldscopes — they cost less than ...

Well, better than a conventional microscope, as you might expect, since I am writing about their work. But, only by a factor of just over two (~100nm), which, is, in some ways, quite disappointing.

Avantier - Microscope Objective LensesA microscope objective lens produces a real, magnified image of an object placed within the field of view. Before it is observed the image is then magnified again ...

We developed an alternative technology to make aspherical lenses. This lens could be used with a mobile phone and see things that a naked eye or a magnifying glass misses,” Ms. Karunakaran said.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie. [RunnerPack] stumbled upon an article from 2001 about building a stereo microscope from a pair of binoculars and a camera lens. With a ring light attached to the… ...

On a late night in February 2011, two Princeton University researchers packed a small object into a box and set it out for the morning mail. The engineers had spent four years developing a new type of ...

A team at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has come up with a promising new way to create 3D images from a stationary camera or microscope with a single lens. Rather ...
