A new microscope developed by the TEAM Project (Transmission Electron Aberration-corrected Microscope), supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, has recorded the highest-resolution images ever ...

Scientists have produced the world's most powerful optical microscope, which could help us understand the causes of many viruses and diseases.

It is the most powerful of its type in the world. “With this newly developed microscope, we will be able to see atomic-level details, in the future also in 3D.

THE SCIENCE OF SMALL just got a lot bigger at Berkeley Lab with the arrival of the world’s most powerful microscope. The new $27 million microscope has a resolution of half of an angstrom, or ...

Scientists from the University of Manchester have announced the development of the world's most powerful optical microscope. Called the "microsphere nanoscope," the device captures non-diffracted ...

A new microscope combines a normal optical scope with a see-through microsphere superlens, beating the diffraction limit of light and shattering the limits of optical microscopes. With the new ...

Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have started using a 12-foot tall microscope that they expect will one day boosts nanotechnology research.

Electron microscopes are some of the most powerful tools in science, allowing us to capture images at a scale so tiny that we can observe individual atoms! Unlike traditional light microscopes ...

Electron microscopes have played a pivotal role in developing nanotechnologies as their high spatial resolutions make it possible to visualize the smallest of structures.

The newest microscope which Mr. Lucas announced last week is twice as powerful, makes possible the small detail of the ultraviolet and the greater magnification of visible light.

How a Dutch fabric seller made the most powerful magnifying lens of his time—and of the next 150 years—and became the first person ever to see a microorganism.
