Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister ...

A microscope image of two exceptional threads of silk from the Australian net-caster spider has been announced as the winner of the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition 2025. The ...

In quantum computing studies, precision optics play a pivotal role in experimental success. The long working distance (LWD) microscope objective lens is a key element in ion-trap quantum computers.

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 ...

This case study examines the high numerical aperture (NA) infinity conjugate long working distance microscope objective, suitable for precision applications such as optical tweezers. The microscope ...

A global leader in agricultural genetics sought durable, economical UV microscope objectives. Issues in meeting these objectives included optical design complexity, wavefront control, and fabrication ...

I have a colleague who's using an Omax A35 camera with ToupLite software to make micrographs. The issue with it is that the ToupLite software is not very good; I suspect it's a half-hearted port of a ...

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 ...

Analyzing magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution is a test-and-measurement challenge, but it’s important for both advanced physics insight as well as real-world products such as high-density ...
