The demand for disposable miniature imaging platforms (DMIPs) is growing rapidly. Used for commercial, scientific, medical, and educational purposes, DMIPs have numerous applications but can be ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

UCLA researchers have redefined the concept of a microscope by removing the lens to create a system that is small enough to fit in the palm of a hand but powerful enough to create three-dimensional ...

Such alignment is critical for chip-scale devices that employ the radiation emitted by quantum dots to store and transmit quantum information. For the first time, the NIST researchers achieved this ...
