A totally different type of microscope will be much smaller and less complex than traditional microscopes, but more powerful. Two years ago, a customer handed Richard Stahl and the imec team a challenge: one year to develop a microscope that could help monitor the growth of stem-cell cultures. The customer was already building a prototype using a phase-contrast microscope, but Stahl decided to try lens-free microscopy instead. “A lens-free replacement would lower the cost and complexity of their application,” he said. “And it would also allow them to capture a...Read full article
