As recently as five years ago, shopping for a microscope light source was fairly straightforward. For routine applications, it was tungsten halogen, typically 100 W, while for fluorescence, it was an...

By its original definition, a nanopositioning device is a mechanism capable of repeatedly delivering motion in increments as small as one nanometer. Lately demands from industry and research have...

NSOM is suitable for studies on the mesoscopic scale (several tens to hundreds of molecular dimensions). It has become an important tool in research and applications of semiconductors, organic layers...

The market for the tunable light source is ever expanding due to its uses in countless fields, such as the inspection industry, machine visioning, and a wide range of optical experiments....

A clever way to overcome the limitation caused by diffraction is to use 'pointillism strategy', a concept introduced by Rainer Heintzmann in 2005. The idea is to have only one fluorescent emitter...

Nanoscale motion requires fastidious attention to instrumentation, passive controls, and experiment design. Most users have experience in motion control within the sphere of the microscale. In this...

Researchers at Penn State University are spearheading a multidisciplinary research effort to explore ways to produce bioethanol more efficiently from lignocellulose. Importantly, this is not corn...

The desire for imaging the physiological context of cellular behavior and structurally accurate measurements has driven technology development to achieve clearer, faster, and more precise imaging....

The recent introduction of true scientific CMOS (sCMOS) technology has caused considerable speculation as to how interline CCD, Electron Multiplying CCD and sCMOS detection technologies compare. This...

In April 2021, the American Center for Optics Manufacturing (AmeriCOM) was established by optics manufacturers in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The mission: to build the...

Fluorescence imaging in life sciences and microscopy applications has traditionally used mercury, metal halide, and xenon arc lamps for illumination. With advances in technology, LEDs are now able to...

Microscopy is a scientific technique that involves the use of microscopes to observe and study objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Microscopes are instruments that magnify and...

The picture formed by the scanning beam of electrons in a scanning electron microscope.

An electron microscope that uses a beam of electrons -- accelerated to high energy and focused on the sample -- to scan the sample surface, ejecting secondary electrons that form the picture of the...

A nondestructive testing method for very large scale integration circuits, using a scanning electron microscope to monitor changes in the electronic state of the chip as it is fed test voltages while...
