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 ...

Who doesn’t know the problem of glare when trying to ogle a PCB underneath a microscope of some description? Even with a ring ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a ...

For this project you need few pieces of cardboard, a torch and webcam with manual focus, all you need - install the lens by the reverse side and build a body for your future microscope. As better ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...
