A physics-based autofocus method uses dual LED lighting to detect and correct defocus in microscopes. It enhances imaging ...

Engineers at Caltech say that their approach -- computing their way past optical limitations -- could bring high-performance microscopes to medical clinics in developing countries. Elizabeth Armstrong ...

The Sutter BOB — designed to eliminate the conventional microscope frame—is a simple, open-design upright microscope platform ideal for slice electrophysiology, wide field functional imaging, two ...

Researchers have integrated their megahertz-speed optical coherence tomography (MHz-OCT) system into a commercially available neurosurgical microscope. The top left picture shows the typical surgical ...

The brain’s ability to learn comes from “plasticity,” in which neurons constantly edit and remodel the tiny connections called synapses that they make with other neurons to form circuits. To study ...

A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...

Clinical study of microscope-integrated system lays groundwork for using OCT to define tumor margins and reveal subsurface brain anatomy. Researchers have successfully integrated a megahertz-speed ...
