This article discusses what a digital microscope is, how it works, and the benefits of using one. It also provides some examples of how they are used. Rather than using an eyepiece, a digital ...

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 ...

Like our eyes, microscopes are limited in what they can see because of their resolution, or their ability to see detail. The detail, or information, from the object is there, but some of it gets lost ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...
