Smaller and more versatile laser confocal microscopy platforms would potentially be of great value for in vivo imaging of live biological specimens, in scenarios where the size of conventional ...

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

One day, filmmaker Daniel Schweinert was enjoying taking pictures with a macro lens when he suddenly wondered what would happen if he attached a microscope objective lens to a digital camera.

Figure 1 (a) Structure of the mesoscopic objective, (b) Aberration distribution of the mesoscopic objective, (c) Wide-field imaging system built with the mesoscopic objective, (d) Laser point-scanning ...

The new line of Olympus SCALEVIEW multiphoton microscope objectives, which allow researchers to see far deeper into tissue than was ever possible before, has earned three prestigious life science ...

Avantier's case study examines the high NA infinity conjugate long working distance microscope objective, designed for optical tweezers and other precision applications. With a 16 mm focal length, 14 ...

Scientists have developed the first flat lens for immersion microscopy. This lens, which can be designed for any liquid, may provide a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture alternative to the ...
