SUNY researcher issued patent for virtual telemicroscope
After nearly ten years of research and development, scientists at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and Peking University in Beijing were awarded a United States patent for their virtual telemicroscope. This patented software permits off-site pathologists to diagnose cancer or other diseases in patients living in remote locations around... view more... (2008-03-28)

Shedding new light on biology
Physicists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have developed a state-of-the-art microscope that gives scientists a much deeper look into living organisms than ever before. The new technology will undoubtedly become a standard fixture in modern biology labs. Its many advantages and applications are described in the latest edition... view more... (2004-08-09)

First high-resolution images of bone, tooth and shell formation
Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have for the first time made high-resolution images of the earliest stages of bone formation. They used the world's most advanced electron microscope to make three-dimensional images of the nano-particles that are at the heart of the process.   view more (2009-03-13)

All done with mirrors: NIST microscope tracks nanoparticles in 3-D
A clever new microscope design allows nanotechnology researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to track the motions of nanoparticles in solution as they dart around in three dimensions.   view more (2008-03-11)

Quantum gas microscope offers glimpse of quirky ultracold atoms
Physicists at Harvard University have created a quantum gas microscope that can be used to observe single atoms at temperatures so low the particles follow the rules of quantum mechanics, behaving in bizarre ways.   view more (2009-11-05)

Automated screening process may eventually reduce additional breast cancer surgeries
A team of researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the Moores UCSD Cancer Center have developed a rapid, automated image screening process to distinguish breast cancer cells from normal cells.   view more (2009-02-02)

UGA biomedical engineer publishes on 'super-resolution' video imaging
A crucial tool in the evolution of scientific capability in bioscience, the fluorescence microscope has allowed a generation of scientists to study the properties of proteins inside cells.   view more (2009-05-05)

Blacksmith’s secret revealed
In an international study into the fine structure of steel, Technology Foundation STW researchers have revealed how strong steel is formed. By analysing red-hot steel with an x-ray microscope, the researchers discovered how at a temperature of 900 oC, numerous microscopic crystals suddenly developed in the steel. The findings were published in the... view more... (2002-11-15)

Microscopes at microscopic size
Traditionally if scientists wanted to look at something small they would put a sample under a microscope but now researchers have managed to shrink the microscope itself to the size of a single human cell. An interdisciplinary research team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and... view more... (2005-04-07)

Nowhere to hide -- new ultra-powerful microscope probes atomic world
A unique electron microscope, the first of its kind in the world, was unveiled yesterday at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in Warrington.   view more (2008-01-25)

UIC and Japanese chemists close in on molecular switch
The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will be as tiny as single molecules.   view more (2007-07-11)

NYU physicists find way to explore microscopic systems through holographic video
Physicists at New York University have developed a technique to record three-dimensional movies of microscopic systems, such as biological molecules, through holographic video.   view more (2009-07-21)

New technique measures chemical composition of tiny details
The method which the Eindhoven have developed is based on the radiation emitted by an object when it is irradiated by a beam of electrons. The measurable phenomenon occurs because the electrons in the beam collide with electrons in the atoms making up the object so that they enter an excited state. When the electrons return to the free state, with... view more... (2000-01-18)

New microscope boost for UK nanotechnology research
A powerful new microscope, currently available only in three universities in Europe and the USA, will position Britain as a leading centre for nanomaterials, researchers announce today.   view more (2004-12-14)

Nanomicroscopy reveals the collective transport of gold atoms in real-time
Researchers at Delft University of Technology used a High Resolution Electron Microscope to observe in real-time the collective transportation of gold atoms in a thin layer.   view more (2007-02-06)

A potent and selective anti-tumor agent on human gastric cancer
A research article to be published on June 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question.   view more (2009-06-29)

Nanoscale microscope sheds first light on gene repair
Proteins called H2AX act as "first aid" to DNA, among other roles. For the first time, scientists using the world's most powerful light microscope (the only one of its kind in the Americas) have seen how H2AX is distributed in the cell nucleus: in clusters, directing the first aid/repair after DNA injuries to the region where it is... view more...

Tracking the spread of cancer cells - Photon02
Not much is known about how clustered cancer cells move, but it is important to understand how individual cancer cells break off from a cluster and spread throughout the human body. A research collaboration between the University of Wales College of Medicine and Kingston University * has lead to the development of a computational imaging technique... view more... (2002-08-28)

UC Santa Barbara researchers light up 'dark' spins in diamond
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have potentially opened up a new avenue toward room temperature quantum information processing. By demonstrating the ability to image and control single isolated electron spins in diamond, they unexpectedly discovered a new channel for transferring information to other surrounding spins - an initial step towards... view more...
