Neutrons have a set of unique properties that make them better suited than light, electrons, or x-rays for looking at the physics and chemistry going on inside an object. Scientists working out of MIT ...

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features and ...

Pinhole pupilloplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to narrow the pupil to pinhole size to impart greater depth of focus ...

While confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light to generate the optical section, a multi-photon (or 2-photon) microscope uses a pulsed infrared laser to stimulate fluorescence ...

The Cell Imaging Center houses two types of confocal microscopes: the Olympus FV1000 and the Zeiss LSM700. In confocal microscopy, laser light is focused into a very small spot and is scanned across ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSMs) use a laser to generate a digital image of a given sample. Confocal microscopes work in tandem with ‘fluorescent tagging’, which involves the alteration of ...

On most of the occasions that I write about microscopy, I talk about big table-top devices with fancy lasers attached to one end and fancy geeks attached to the other. Yet, in my excitement over these ...

Device could open up new areas of research on materials and biological samples at tiny scales. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Researchers at MIT, working with partners at NASA, have developed a new concept for a ...
